Description Chris Murphy 2014-09-02 23:14:25 UTC 
Description of problem: Whether using yum, dnf, or gnome-software to remove rygel, 56+ packages are deleted, including gnome-shell, nautilus, etc. When done from within gnome-software there is absolutely no warning that the entire GUI is going to be obliterated.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
hawkey-0.5.0-2.fc21.x86_64
gnome-software-3.13.90-1.fc21.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Reproduce steps, any of the following:

gnome-software > click installed > scroll to Rygel Preferences > click Remove

dnf erase rygel
yum remove rygel

Actual results:

At least with yum and dnf I get a list of things that will be erased and give some clue that a bunch of stuff that shouldn't be deleted is about to be deleted. But with gnome-software, it's all immediately deleted, I get a black screen, everything I was working on at the time is gone, etc.

So with gnome-software, this is a user data loss bug.

Expected results:

Not this.

Additional info:

Dinging rygel because I suspect it's a packaging problem that's causing all of these other packages to be considered subject to deletion.

Comment 2 Chris Murphy 2014-09-02 23:23:09 UTC 
If it turns out this is correct behavior for dnf and yum (?) then Rygel Preferences needs to be removed from gnome-software.
Comment 3 Peter Robinson 2014-09-03 08:15:51 UTC 
So the removing of rygel taking everything else with it is due to control-center depending on rygel so reassigning there as it's nothing to do with rygel packaging.

The removal of everything without notification is a separate bug and should be filed against gnome-software (I suggest wording something along the lines of "if multiple packages are going to be removed by selecting a single package the user should be prompted")
Comment 4 Adam Williamson 2014-09-03 13:41:11 UTC 
The lack of notification of dependency removals in Software is already filed upstream: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=711171

Comment 7 Van de Bugger 2015-10-17 23:23:34 UTC 
rygel is packed into a single rpm. It causes problem during installation also. I wanted to install rygel server on headless Linux box, but installing rygel requires to install 75 more rpms, including mesa, bunch of X libraries, pango, cairo, icons, fonts, etc. I suppose all these GUI-related libraries are not actually required for rygel server and highly unwelcome on headless Linux box.

Which is the opposite of what's being discussed in this bug. Please stick to the topic.

In any case, I have no plans to remove the hard-dependency on rygel in control-center.
