Browse - computer tips - undo that yum install

Date: 2009nov23
OS: RedHat, CentOS, Fedora

Q.  In installed a package with yum and it pulled in lots of dependencies
(which is fine).  But now I want to remove the package and its dependencies.
How can I do that?

A.  You can use yum's history feature.  Do:

	yum history

to see a log of all installs.  Note the number of the transaction you want to
undo and enter:

	yum history undo <number>
