Doesn't "yum remove <pkg>" also remove any packages which require <pkg>, which may be rather a lot? I tried the above once, and got in a mess; "yum install" was not a straightforward inverse of "yum remove". Hopefully I'm wrong? Personally, I would use rpm if I wanted to remove and re-install a package. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
