Description Matěj Cepl 2011-11-03 12:42:59 UTC
Description of problem:
As a Python programmer I wanted to stop abrt from reacting on any Python crash. I was advised to remove abrt-addon-python. However, yum remove abrt-addon-python removes also abrt-desktop and abrt-cli. If the abrt-addon-python is just an (semi-)optional engine for Python  backtraces, than abrt-cli shouldn't hard require it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
abrt-2.0.4-14.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.yum remove abrt-addon-python
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
removes also abrt-desktop and abrt-cli

Expected results:
nothing should be removed aside from this engine

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-11-07 06:47:40 UTC
Since RHEL 6.2 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 3 Jiri Moskovcak 2011-11-25 08:18:08 UTC
- we need to create a virtual package as abrt-desktop to pull the dependencies, so users can remove the plugins without removing the abrt-cli package

Comment 4 Jiri Moskovcak 2011-12-08 15:05:27 UTC
- created a new package abrt-tui which holds the abrt-cli binary and abrt-cli is now an empty package which just pulls all the required dependencies for the default setup.

Comment 8 Denys Vlasenko 2012-01-17 18:14:50 UTC
Appears to be fixed as er comment #4:
