yum automatically checks for the dependencies .... so may the dependencies of your package are the dependencies of some other package thats why its acting like that, can you be more precise to tell what package you are removing
Thanks, Waqas. Ideally, yum should not act as you describe, as not always the same package is necessary for two other different packages. I was trying to remove mediawiki and all the packages that were installed when mediawiki was installed. Meanwhile, I found that synaptic has got the "complete removal" feature that seems to correspond to what I was looking for. Thus, I ask: if synaptic is apt to perform a complete removal (the package itself and the other packages required by it), why is not yum also able to do so? Paul
