It is *not* a problem in yum. Yum is merely doing it's job. The
dependencies are in the software itself in most cases and package
maintainers control it to some extend. Kevin Kofler has already

Easy there Rahul. I suspect that Jim read my question from a Digest
that had maybe come out before Kevin's response (or just replied prior
to getting that far in the Digest). No need to jump down his throat;
honey vs. vinegar and all that.
