From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: When Gnome and KDE are both installed, neither can be uninstalled. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-packages-1.2.12-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install both Gnome and KDE. 2.Run system-config-packages. 3.Note that there is no way to uncheck either Gnome or KDE. Actual Results: Neither desktop environment can be removed. Expected Results: One should be able to remove at least one of the two, if not both. Additional info: Apparently this is intentional, because it is considered necessary to have a desktop environment. However, it is clearly not necessary to have both. I would consider it tolerable to force the user to keep one of them, but not to keep both. Thus it should be possible if both are installed to remove one of them. I know it's probably possible to do this using rpm from the command line or whatever, but the average user wouldn't know that. This is related to part of bug 88738. However, that bug isn't very clear, and is really two separate bugs, so I decided to enter a new bug instead of updating that one.
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
Closing as fixed in later releases
