Description flo 2008-07-23 14:00:00 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061712 Fedora/3.0-1.fc9 Firefox/3.0

Description of problem:
when i do "yum groupremove KDE", and then i check the "remove"-list, i can see "NetworkManager-gnome", anaconda, zenity, system-config-kickstart, which are _obviously_ no KDE-programs. (anaconda and system-config kickstart is removed for dependencies, Networkmanager-gnome and zenity are normally removed.)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-3.2.16-2.fc9.noarch 

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a console, become root
2. enter yum groupremove KDE
3. enjoy...

Actual Results:
i saw "remove: NetworkManager-gnome  blah... blah... zenity
remove for deps: anaconda blah... system-config-kickstart"


Expected Results:
er... all those non-kde-things shouldn't be removed :D?

Additional info:
first i had KDE, then i've installed XFCE via yum groupinstall XFCE... maybe this helps?

Comment 1 seth vidal 2008-07-23 14:06:43 UTC

if you run:
yum groupinfo KDE

you'll notice that all the pkgs you listed above are, in fact, packages in the
KDE group.

Comment 2 flo 2008-07-23 14:13:55 UTC

really oO?
but why?
why is network-manager-gnome in the KDE group?
shouldn't it be in the GNOME-group??

Comment 3 seth vidal 2008-07-23 14:17:50 UTC

that's probably a question best left to the kde team or the folks who wrote the
comps file.

You can refile against comps or kde, I suspect.

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2008-07-23 14:22:21 UTC

flo, re: comment #2
NetworkManger-gnome was included in kde-desktop because it is the best/only 
gui for NetworkManager atm.

Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2008-07-23 14:33:54 UTC

I guess it's worth mentioning 2 more things:
1.  fedora's kde implementation is kde-centric, but not a "pure" kde desktop.
2.  DE's often include overlappoing components (like NetworkManager-gnome 
here)

Comment 6 flo 2008-07-23 15:04:48 UTC

aha...
and is there any way to tell yum not  to uninstall those packets that are in
multiple groups (when one of them is installed?)

Comment 8 Emanuele Bellini 2009-04-08 16:46:51 UTC

To help the descendants, you can use Yum extender to have a better control of what is going to be removed... I said a better control because some packages like gedit were removed and they weren't in the list (probably they were between the dependencies), of course if I still have the Networkmanager I can install it again...
Anyway... I'm here because I have the same issue.
