I'm trying to remove the packages for cyrus-sasl using yum, but for some reason, yum wants to uninstall everything related to e-mail, as well as X-Windows, Gnome, etc etc.

How can I just remove cyrus, without uninstalling my entire desktop?
Thanks, Gordon
cyrus-sasl is required by several things, including sendmail and evolution connector.
you can do this from the command line to see exactly what you have installed that needs cyrus-sasl
rpm -e cyrus-sasl
rpm -e --nodeps cyrus-sasl
(that will fail and tell you every package that depends on something provided by cyrus-sasl)
My guess is that you can not remove it easily.
