Description Ralf Corsepius 2005-07-14 05:35:41 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050513 Fedora/1.7.8-2

Description of problem:
yum doesn't handle "removal by provides",
e.g. yum remove eclipse

(eclipse is a "Provides" of the eclipse-platform rpm).
However yum is able to handle "installation by provides",
e.g. yum install eclipse

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-2.3.2-7

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install eclipse
2. yum remove eclipse

  

Actual Results:  # yum remove eclipse
Setting up Remove Process
No Packages marked for removal

For comparison:
# apt-get remove eclipse
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Selecting eclipse-platform for 'eclipse'
The following packages will be REMOVED:
   eclipse-platform (1:3.1.0_fc-0.M6.22)
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 removed and 2 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B of archives.
After unpacking 101MB disk space will be freed.


Expected Results:  yum should select package corresponding to "provides" and remove it.
