I tried the above once, and got in a mess;
"yum install" was not a straightforward inverse of "yum remove".
Yes, this is true.
Consider the package sendmail-cf, which depends on sendmail.
"yum remove sendmail" will remove sendmail-cf too, because it depends on
sendmail.
"yum install sendmail" will install sendmail, but not sendmail-cf, since
sendmail itself does not depend on sendmail-cf.
The correct inverse is
yum install sendmail-cf
because that's what the dependencies say: sendmail-cf depends on sendmail,
Think about it.
