This is incorrect. Yum asks for confirmation before deleting anything, same as it does for installing and updating. Unless of course you ran "yum -y", or your yum.conf(5) file has been modified from the default: assumeyes Either Ą1ĸ or Ą0ĸ. Determines whether or not yum prompts for confirmation of critical actions. Default is Ą0ĸ (do prompt). Command-line option: -y alwaysprompt Either Ą1ĸ or Ą0ĸ. Without this option, yum will not prompt for confirmation when the list of packages to be installed exactly matches those given on the command line. Unless assumeyes is enabled, it will still prompt for package removal, or when additional packages need to be installed to fulfill dependencies. Default is Ą1ĸ. poc -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list Delete a module, reply Y, and yum will do it. Yum will also delete all the dependencies. Choose the right module to delete, and YUM and rpm will disappear. </pre></blockquote></td></tr></table>
