I just erased a package while there was an update awaiting that package. yum downloaded the update, installed it, and only then did it remove the (updated) package and dependencies. Is that a bit of unnecessary overhead? It's no big deal for me; I did the update across my local network. But for someone on a slow connection, it could be irritating. -------------------------------------------------- [root@taltos ~]# yum erase gimp Repository updates-released already added, not adding again Repository base already added, not adding again Setting up Remove Process Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.
