yes - I even posted a bug report about it a long time ago... it 
is one of the reasons I've stopped using kyum - I also didn't 
like the way it proceeded with installation of packages after 
computing dependencies and removes/installs/updates, without 
giving you a last chance to say no - that wiped a few packages 
out on me on occasion that I didn't want to wipe. I got a reply 
from the developer, but my recollection is that he chalked it up 
to the way Livna's repo files were written - my apologies to the 
developer if I got that wrong, but my main impression was that 
it was not going to be fixed.
