package mngmt dep. prob --ADDENDUM: NeVerM!nd, sorry
 

Using Redhat 9.0 . I desire to free some harddrive space.

Earlier tonight went into Add/Remove Packages from my Gnome desktop dropdown menu.

I clicked KDE Software Development (which was by default originally NOT installed on my system ) and ADDED it.

Then I realized that it took up over 100megs of space, and decided I'd rather just do without it afterall.

So I go to Add/Remove Packages again, and de-select KDE Software Development .

When I click UPDATE, the following dependencies are found:

[X] Package Not Found

The Following packages could not be found on your system. Installation cannot continue until they are installed.

Unlocatedable Package -------------Required by
pilot-link-devel >= 1:0.11.4 --------gnome-pilot-devel
libxslt-devel >= 1:0.11.9 ------------libgnome-devel

I find this strange though, because: a) I'm not "installing" but un-installing, and b) i ADDED the package not 20 minutes ago and have done nothing inbetween and now REMOVING is problematic?

thanks for reading. help is appreciated.

ok. i think i see that i have to uninstall the 2 dependencies b4 uninstalling the KDE Package.. I need to stop and think things thru b4 posting to linuxquestions... :newbie:
