Hey Y'all,
I got a package update notice this evening for package augeas-libs. As is my practice I figured I would check to see if I needed the package or if I could just delete it thus obviating the need to install the upgrade.
This is what yum has to say about the package and it's sole dependency.
Dependencies Resolved
================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ================================================================================ Removing: augeas-libs i686 1.0.0-7.el6 @base 934 k Removing for dependencies: netcf-libs i686 0.2.4-1.el6 @base 186 k
Transaction Summary ================================================================================ Remove 2 Package(s)
So just to be sure I put them both on the same command line and got this:

Transaction Summary ================================================================================ Remove 2 Package(s)
It would appear that there are no application packages that depend on augeas-libs or netcf-libs. It doesn't look like anything is using them. Is there any good reason why I should not just erase augeas-libs and netcf-libs?
