I have a package A, which is depended from package B. Now I want to remove the package B. I was told the package A will be removed as well. But this is not what I want.

As it said A is dependent on package B, so if you will remove package B then A will be useless without that. It is something like you are cutting legs of a chair and still want seating space of the chair to remain high.
Technically it is possible but not sure what it will screw up on the system. You can use --force with rpm to remove package B. Example:
Code:
rpm -e --force <package B>
The reason it is complaining about dependency is to make sure that system integrity is intact.
