[Spacewalk-list] spacewalk API package remove does not check dependency

[Yang Li]

While we are testing functionality of spacewalk from spacewalk web GUI, we discovered that if we uninstall following packages from spacewalk web GUI


  *   mysql-community-libs-compat-5.7.17-1.el7.x86_64
  *   mysql-community-libs-5.7.17-1.el7.x86_64

it uninstalls them without any warning.

But if we run yum on system, it clearly states that net-snmp and postfix are depending on mysql-community-libs.

What exactly spacewalk web GUI use for package management? Why it does not check for package dependencies?

Thanks,
Yang
