Description Karl Lattimer 2007-01-02 14:13:55 UTC 
Description of problem:
Sometimes I want to remove a package which is heavily depended on by installed
packages, and there is a huge tree of futher dependencies, for instance try and
uninstall GNOME on the command line you'll quickly get the idea.

It would be really nice if RPM had an rpm -e option to remove all dependent
packages.

    Use yum.
