Description of problem: yum doesn't remove packages with langpacks that no longer needed by any other package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.3.1-2.fc19 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install any package with deps that have langpacks (e. g. libreoffice-writer has mythes dependency with mythes-%s langpacks) 2. Remove this package Actual results: Dependencies with langpacks won't be erased Expected results: All leftover dependencies should be erased Additional info: For example: if I install libreoffice-writer it pulls mythes and language packs mythes-en, mythes-ru. If I delete libreoffice-writer package mythes won't be erased. As I understand it happens because packages mythes-ru, mythes-en installs "by user" and have mythes dependency.

What's your yum config - do you have clean_requirements_on_remove set?

James, Zdenek - is there something specific that yum-langpacks can do to mark the packages it installs so that this works?
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
James, Can you please provide your views on this bug? thanks.

Yes, that works, but "yum autoremove" will delete all langpacks because they're marked installed as dependencies (but no package depends on them).

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.
