Why should yum remove it when A is removed. Just in case anyone is still confused, that's not what the thread was about. Mikkel and Rahul have pointed out that the redundancy is for backwards compatibility, but I find I'm not sure which is the legacy command. The man pages seem to focus more on remove, whereas yum --help does not mention remove the remove alias at all. And there is not "grouperase" corresponding to "groupremove" If there is a bug here, would it be the inconsistency between the -- help option and the man pages, and the lack of deprecation notice for the legacy command? (Or conversely, the explicit mention that the alias is there for backwards- or cross-compatibility?) -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
