Description of problem: While testing different versions of the kernel, I noticed that if I use yum to uninstall the kernel, gnome-session and gnome-volume-manager are also uninstalled. It seems these packages are dependencies for the kernel. I'm not sure why. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-volume-manager-1.5.11-2 gnome-session-2.13.91-1 yum-2.5.1-5 kernel-2.6.15-1.1955_FC5 How reproducible: #yum remove kernel Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure the above kernel is installed. 2. Use yum to remove the kernel with "yum remove kernel" 3. Yum shows gnome-session and gnome-volume-manager as dependencies that will also be removed, and prompts you to say "yes" 4. Watch as everything is removed and verify resules. 5. use "yum install kernel" and see that gnome-session and gnome-volume-manager are not re-installed 6. use "yum install gnome-session gnome-volume-manager" to get your system back Actual results: see description Expected results: gnome-session and gnome-volume-manager should not be removed, correct? Additional info:
gnome-volume-manager has a dependency on a certain minimum kernel version. If you remove all kernels that satisfy it, then of course g-v-m needs to be removed as well. If you think this is incorrect then you should file against g-v-m.
