Hi G,
neither!  I had been trying a) to get my Epson all-in-one to work as per 
book & b) trying to get a pdf printer installed.

Neither seemed(!) to be successful, then the next reboot stalled in 
CUPS, so I thought remove CUPS & reinstall to see if it had got its 
knickers in a knot .....

I'd had a similar experience on my first install of F9, when I thought I 
could remove all the dial-up options (I use either an Ethernet 
connection or a wireless from my laptop) & yum quite cheerfully took out 
Network Manager & left me without a connection....

To my simple brain(!) it would seem the definition of "dependency" is 
not clean.  I would have thought that a dependency is something which 
must be present for something to function; whereas a relationship 
Master-servant would mean that in  something like CUPS-Firefox, FF is 
the Master & CUPS the servant providing a service.  One should be able 
to remove either the Master or the Servant without destroying the other, 
just making sure the connections are tidied up....

Cheers

Dave
