I was updating one FC5 workstation we have, conected with a wireless AP.

was really shocked when I say that bind was about to be updated.
First I thought that it may not be the named server, but some libs
necesary
for name resolution, so I tried to remove it.
OOOOHHHHHHH!!!!!
evolution, NetworkManager, NetworkManager-glib, etc. will be removed.
Why in earth would any of these packages depende on bind?
# rpm -q --whatrequires bind
bind-config-9.3.2-20.FC5
NetworkManager-0.6.4-1.fc5
I don't know what to say. Well, maybe this:
[root@tatooine ~]# yum remove bind

Why does yum want to remove then?
I didn't say you were wrong about yum, I just said I couldn't justify it.
You're right, though--yum want to take evolution-sharp, beagle, and
krb5-auth-dialog as dependencies too, and I don't see what the connection
is via rpm to those either.
