Deseecting items is the same as removing via pirut. I believe that I
removed an item or two with the program.
A package updater is a package updater. pirut is add/remove in design.
I'm still having SELinux related denials when selinux is active. Both
work great otherwise.
kyum is most likely a good front-end to yum also. I do not use it, but
have tried it in the past.
