I would like to remove evolution rpms, but I am surprised to see that packages that were there before I had installed evolution packages, are now dependent on evolution packages, and yum would remove them. Packages like: gdm gnome-session-xsession desktop-effects gnome-session gnome-panel ...etc Is this a sane thing for yum to do or are the deps really screwed up? $ sudo yum erase evolution-data-server
