From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.7-10smp i686) Description of problem: Unable to remove logrotate package due to dependancy from sysklogd. This happens in all recent versions of RHL, including the 7.2 betas. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -e logrotate on any recent version of Red Hat Linux Actual Results: [root@toomuch root]# rpm -e logrotate error: removing these packages would break dependencies: logrotate >= 3.5.2 is needed by sysklogd-1.4.1-4 [root@toomuch root]# Expected Results: the logrotate package should be deleted. Additional info: It looks like sysklogd depends on logrotate for /etc/logrotate.d. I think we should just allow rpm to handle the creation/removal of the directory, or make it part of the filesystem package.
Fixed in 1.4.1rh-5.
make that -6.
