Description Matthias Berndt 2012-07-04 22:12:15 UTC

Description of problem:
After installing and removing the empathy package on my KDE-only system, various dependencies are left around.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.1.31-4.fc17

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install and enable yum-plugin-remove-with-leaves
2. install e. g. empathy on your system
3. remove it again using "yum remove --with-leaves empathy"
  
Actual results:
Various packages that were installed by yum to satisfy empathy's dependencies are left around. In my case, these were json-glib, libsocialweb, libsocialweb-keys, rest.

Expected results:
All dependencies that were installed because of empathy should be removed again.

Additional info:
I filed this bug against yum because there's no component to chose for this yum plugin.

Yum installed the following 36 packages as dependencies when I installed empathy. Except for the 4 packages mentioned earlier, they were all removed again.

 Don't use that plugin, use the clean_requirements_on_remove configuration in yum ... however even that can't guarantee perfection.
