From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061712 Fedora/3.0-1.fc9 Firefox/3.0 Description of problem: when i do "yum groupremove KDE", and then i check the "remove"-list, i can see "NetworkManager-gnome", anaconda, zenity, system-config-kickstart, which are _obviously_ no KDE-programs. (anaconda and system-config kickstart is removed for dependencies, Networkmanager-gnome and zenity are normally removed.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-3.2.16-2.fc9.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open a console, become root 2. enter yum groupremove KDE 3. enjoy... Actual Results: i saw "remove: NetworkManager-gnome blah... blah... zenity remove for deps: anaconda blah... system-config-kickstart" Expected Results: er... all those non-kde-things shouldn't be removed :D? Additional info: first i had KDE, then i've installed XFCE via yum groupinstall XFCE... maybe this helps?
if you run: yum groupinfo KDE you'll notice that all the pkgs you listed above are, in fact, packages in the KDE group.
really oO? but why? why is network-manager-gnome in the KDE group? shouldn't it be in the GNOME-group??
that's probably a question best left to the kde team or the folks who wrote the comps file. You can refile against comps or kde, I suspect.
flo, re: comment #2 NetworkManger-gnome was included in kde-desktop because it is the best/only gui for NetworkManager atm.
I guess it's worth mentioning 2 more things: 1. fedora's kde implementation is kde-centric, but not a "pure" kde desktop. 2. DE's often include overlappoing components (like NetworkManager-gnome here)
aha... and is there any way to tell yum not to uninstall those packets that are in multiple groups (when one of them is installed?)

To help the descendants, you can use Yum extender to have a better control of what is going to be removed... I said a better control because some packages like gedit were removed and they weren't in the list (probably they were between the dependencies), of course if I still have the Networkmanager I can install it again... Anyway... I'm here because I have the same issue.
