Hello,

If I try to 'yum remove cyrus-sasl cyrus-imapd ...' then it asks me to
remove mysql postfix and so on too...

Is 'rpm -e --nodeps' the only way to remove it?

cyrus-sasl and cyrus-imapd are two completely unrelated packages (well, not tottaly, since there's dependency, but by what they do). Don't let 'cyrus' prefix fool you.


cyrus-sasl is package used by many applications for user authentication. Examples are cyrus-imapd, sendmail, postfix, (probably dovecot), and the list goes on (basically, almost any service that has support for any kind of non-trivial authentication protocol). If you have any service running on the system, chances are you'll need cyrus-sasl, and at least cyrus-sasl-plain and cyrus-sasl-md5. Optionally you might add cyrus-sasl-gssapi (usually used for Kerberos), cyrus-sasl-sql and/or cyrus-sasl-ntlm to the mix, depending on what authentication protocols you want to support.

cyrus-imapd is just an IMAP server. What you probably wanted to do is simply "yum remove cyrus-imapd".
