Yum and exclude multiple packages.

Hello.
I want to remove gnome packages but exclude some of them. I used "-x" or "--exclude=package name" but I can see the packages name that I excluded in removed items.
For example:

Code:

$ sudo yum erase gnome-* --exclude=gnome-disk-utility.x86_64

But in the output, "gnome-disk-utility.x86_64" existed:

Code:

Removing:

 gnome-disk-utility                              

 gnome-getting-started-docs                      

 gnome-packagekit                                

 gnome-packagekit-common                          

 gnome-packagekit-installer                        

 gnome-packagekit-updater                          

 gnome-system-log                                

 gnome-system-monitor                            

 gnome-terminal                                    

 gnome-user-docs

Any idea?

Thank you.

I would rather say they depend on each other, so most probably you can remove all or none.

Have you tried:

Code:

yum deplist <package name>

In your case:

Code:

yum deplist gnome-disk-utility.x86_64

Review the dependency of gnome-disk-utility...
