Comment 1 Zdeněk Pavlas 2013-02-18 10:58:59 UTC

"yum autoremove" is mostly used with no arguments.  When provided with some, code defaults to "yum remove" path, and then this assert fails.  There are three options:

1) Relax the assert. "yum autoremove foo" is an alias to "yum remove foo".

2) Barf an error that "autoremove" expects no args.

3) Remove only a subset of packages "yum autoremove" would remove.  Probably closest to the expected behavior.
