One great virtue, especially when you're paring down, is that it will show you what else requires a given app *before* you do anything. Unlike pirut, it doesn't wait till you try to remove one and only then warn you. One drawback, so far, is that I haven't found out how to put together a whole list of things to remove and then tell it to do so, all in one fell swoop. Btw, the package kit is new in F9, replacing pirut. >> Keep your fingers crossed -- and stay tuned. It's starting the new >> install now .... > > toes too. good luck. The install took. I decided to remove more stuff before updating; I'm in process of doing that now. I told packagekit to show me only installed apps, and am going through lists, asking for each in doubt what requires it. I just asked, for instance, what requires genisoimage; it told me brasero (among other things) requires it; so I'll keep that.
