Created attachment 622372 [details] transaction file don't know if this helps any Description of problem: I did: yum groupinstall xfce That went okay. Then I decided I didn't want XFCE anymore so I went: yum groupremove xfce After the dependencies were resolved and I said yes go forward with the transaction the following error appeared: ERROR with transaction check vs depsolve: desktop-backgrounds-compat is needed by (installed) lightdm-gtk-1.3.1-1.fc19.x86_64 Please report this error in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=rawhide&component=yum You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest Your transaction was saved, rerun it with: yum load-transaction /tmp/yum_save_tx.2012-10-05.13-39.nVQH97.yumtx It said to report the bug and I did. I also reported this because it claims it can't remove something because it's needed by lightdm which I never installed and don't know how that ended up on my system. Clearly something is amiss. Regardless the workaround was easy. All I had to do was: yum remove *lightdm* and then: yum groupremove xfce worked smoothely.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. 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. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 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, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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.
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
