if you want that list fed to 'yum remove' this would work yum remove `package-cleanup --leaves mediawiki` I had to look at the output and test it to be sure. However, look carefully at the list it proposes. When I tried it I did not get _only_ the packages that were required for my test package, but also got a full list of all the leaves in the package tree -- including yum and a lot of libraries. It seems the output of the --leaves option is not limited to the branch with the package you specify. Needless to say I did not do the uninstall.
Thanks, Jeff. That is correct that `package-cleanup --leaves mediawiki` does not indicate the list of packages required by 'mediawiki'. I think that some improvement should be done regarding the implementation of a simple way of removing a package and its required packages. Paul
