Hi Seth
My experience has been with the F10Beta, which I presume is the F10 of today.
What happened is that for some anaconda entries I check marked and right clicked on some
options (that does a select all), because it was easier then choosing entries one by one.
Then I wanted to use yumex to remove the very few that I did not want. Bible studies ws a
good example.
Just add a few modules (bible study programs) and then do a yumex to select them for
deletion.
And when it starts, go take a coffee. My Linux activities are relegated to after work or
weekends, so the log file, if there is one, will be sent at that time.

There is a serious problem with both of these programs when it comes

deletion.
I inadvertently installed a few programs that should not have been, so
with Yumex I
selected them for deletion.
I received the confirmation, and then yum went through the complete tree,
deleting
every file in the branchs. The end
result that yumex yum, rpm and many many many more files were
expunged.
I looked at the situation, since F10beta is not F10, and noone has
reported this
problem, this is a real issue that needs
some attention.
In a delete mode, a where-used should be done to limit deletion to
independent
dependencies.
Could you provide a yum.log file from the system and the things you were
removing?
Thanks,
