Great thing about lurking in lists, is that you learn stuff! I wanted to know how to remove every dreaded package that had been installed when an intern/idiot decided to install x on a remote server - now I know yum erase should do the trick!
But you of course should be *careful*. Erase the wrong thing and all hell breaks loose...
Oh my. You do realize that a "yum erase" will gladly remove packages dependent on that package? On my system, "yum erase openssl" will remove 433 other packages.
