I was just trying to remove as many selinux related packages as possible (a fedora 9 system) to avoid having to download their updates when I have selinux turned off anyway. Several of the rpms I tried to erase want to drag all kinds of ridiculous stuff with them, and I'm just sort of curious why. For example, attempting to erase policycoreutils results in this list: Removing: policycoreutils i386 2.0.52-8.fc9 installed 3.3 M Removing for dependencies: BackupPC noarch 3.1.0-3.fc9 installed 2.2 M a2ps i386 4.14-5.fc9 installed 3.9 M docbook-utils-pdf noarch 0.6.14-14.fc9 installed 110 evince-dvi i386 2.22.2-1.fc9 installed 137 k html2ps noarch 1.0-0.1.b5.fc9 installed 226 k jadetex noarch 3.13-2.fc9 installed 6.9 M kpathsea i386 2007-30.fc9 installed 158 k linuxdoc-tools i386 0.9.21-16.fc9 installed 901 k mediawiki i386 1.13.2-41.fc9 installed 33 M moin-latex noarch 0-0.20051126.3.fc6 installed 64 k passivetex noarch 1.25-8.fc9 installed 333 k tex-preview noarch 11.85-7.fc9 installed 123 k texinfo-tex i386 4.11-8.fc9 installed 375 k texlive i386 2007-30.fc9 installed 4.1 M texlive-dvips i386 2007-30.fc9 installed 280 k texlive-latex i386 2007-30.fc9 installed 96 k texlive-texmf noarch 2007-22.fc9 installed 14 M texlive-texmf-dvips noarch 2007-22.fc9 installed 2.0 M texlive-texmf-fonts noarch 2007-22.fc9 installed 107 M texlive-texmf-latex noarch 2007-22.fc9 installed 26 M texlive-utils i386 2007-30.fc9 installed 447 k xmltex noarch 20020625-11.fc9 installed 114 k xmlto i386 0.0.20-3.fc9 installed 52 k How on earth could texlive need a dependency on policycoreutils? All tex does is read files, process the data, and generate new files. If tools that do that need selinux, why doesn't everything else on the system depend on it? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
