After installing fc12 I went to install tor through yum and it had many unrelated deps. This can't be right? I know for curtain cvs can't be a dep for tor.

that's a bug caused by broken redhat-lsb package; tor itself requires only 'lsb-core-noarch' which does not need cvs or x11. When you need a slim system, a) make enough noise so that RH fixes its core packages, or b) install 'tor-core' + 'tor-upstart' (instead of 'tor-lsb') *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 472633 ***
