Removing cheese removes a lot of other gnome stuff

[Izek]

Removing cheese removes gnome-bluez, gnome-shell, and a whole lot of other system stuff. How do I have it NOT do that?

cheese-libs is responsible for this. It's 3.7 MB sadly, a lot more sizable than the program itself. Any way to remove the libs without removing all of that?

[glennzo]

Wondering if rpm -e --nodeps would be of use in this situation? Might be worth looking into.

[Izek]

so do I put cheese-libs after that or what?

[glennzo]

Yeah.

PHP Code:

su
rpm -e --nodeps cheese-libs 


Don't do that without investigating the command first. It was just a suggestion.

What are you trying to accomplish? If I try to remove cheese on my Fedora 16 system using yum remove cheese is the only package that will be removed.

I get these:

Is this ok [y/N]:

[glennzo]

You're removing cheese-libs. I demonstrated using cheese. You initially wanted to remove cheese ???

[Izek]

Yes, including the libs >_> cheese-libs should be only for cheese (hence its name)

Why would those things depend on cheese-libs?

you didnt do exactly what Glennzo said above. DO NOT USE YUM to remove it, use RPM

rpm -e cheese-libs --nopeds

Is it supposed to not show any output?

[root@Mune-PC ian]# rpm -e cheese-libs --nodeps

umm, no as your removing it with rpm and not yum

what output did you want it to show?

[PabloTwo]

That is correct. Without the -v (verbose) option it does it's job without printing anything to the screen.

rpm -q cheese-libs

will verify that it is now gone.

Thanks for the help
