Of course anything that requires foo should be removed.
But that is a different matter.
Are you willing to say which package in particular ?
Unfortunately I don't remember.
Whatever it was has disappeared from /var/cache/yum/...
But what I did was "yum install foo".
Then I decided that was the wrong foo,
so I said "yum remove foo",
and it wanted to remove 325 packages.
Sometimes a package is a meta-package whose job it is to install a heap
of sub packages.
I don't think foo was anything esoteric.
But as I said I have forgotten exactly what it was.
Hi,
You should be able to find out by reviewing the yum log:
su -c 'gedit /var/log/yum.log'
Thanks, DaveT.
