Created attachment 564071 [details] package list before removing packages Description of problem: upon removing unwanted packages, my cpu speed became like molasses, and shutdown is hung at cpuspeed stop. i deduce that cpuspeed has a blind dependency. first i'd like to know which package(s), so i can put them back. second, the dependencies should be observed in the rpm. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [awaiting reboot of system to see] How reproducible: 1. compare attached lists to see what packages i removed 2. remove them Actual results: cpu speed became like molasses, and shutdown hung at cpuspeed stop Expected results: cpuspeed proper functioning Additional info: shutdown is printing: [772801.386042] INFO: task vgs:249975 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

cpuspeed has no dependencies but the standard library and communicates with kernel via sysfs. There's nothing hidden. Maybe something is locking your sysfs files or kernel takes to long to read them (if ever) for some reason? We haven't released even 6.3 yet; please, correct the component version.
cpuspeed 1.5 15.el6 x86_64
...assuming 6.2.
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unable to address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Is it still reproducible? As Petr said there are no hidden dependencies.
As I don't see a bug here and there hasn't been any response in months, I'm closing this as NOTABUG.
