Description of problem: When uninstalling a package which is a dependency of another package, apper fails to do so with the explanation that another package(s) depends on the one to be removed. However, it doesn't even mention what package(s). On F17, apper does handle the dependencies and offers such packages for removal. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): apper-0.8.0-0.8.20121002git.fc18 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install dnf 2. remove libsolv 3. Actual results: Nothing removed, error message Expected results: Window listing the dependencies and asking to confirm, that they will be taken away too (just like in F17, KDE 4.9.2 and older). Additional info:
confirmed still an issue with newer 20121102 snapshot
Confirmed still a problem :( I'll file a bug upstream

This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '18'. 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 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 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 to Fedora 18's end of life. 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 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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.
Still happens on Fedora 19 ("package could not be removed, as other packages depend on it").

Confirmed on Fedora 20 (apper-0.8.2-2.fc20.x86_64)
*** Bug 1165314 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
PackageKit-hif now refuses to do removal operations in Apper entirely (!), but in doing so, it at least tells us why: "!allow_deps is not supported". So it's no wonder that PackageKit-yum wasn't doing removal with dependencies, if Apper is requesting !allow_deps. Apper must pass allow_deps=true for removal, like any sane package manager.
