fc8 package manager

Since installing fc8, I have been having problems with the package manager. Sometimes when I uninstall a package it will require me to remove other packages, that the package I am removing uses, but that are not dependent on that package. For instance if I try and remove Grass, it will tell me that I also have to remove GDAL. Grass uses GDAL to read and write files, so it has to be installed for Grass to work properly. However, GDAL is a stand alone package, and does not need Grass to work. In fact a lot of other packages, such as Mapserver, uses GDAL, so it would create problems for those packages, if I removed it. I did not have this problem in previous versions of Fedora. What has happened to fc8?
