Description of problem: The package tomcat6 depends on redhat-lsb, that depends on cups. It's (at least) a strange dependency chain. We could see this here: Running a 'yum groupremove "Printing Support"' tries to cascade remove tomcat6, which is undesired. Runnig a 'yum install tomcat6' tries to cascade install cups, which is also undesired. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tomcat6.noarch 0:6.0.18-6.2.fc10 redhat-lsb.x86_64 0:3.2-2.fc10 cups.x86_64 1:1.3.9-8.fc10 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: Run a 'yum install tomcat6' (without cups installed) to see the strange dependency chain. Actual results: 'yum install tomcat6' installs cups as a indirect dependency. Expected results: 'yum install tomcat6' doesn't install cups as a indirect dependency.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
