The oldest record of the second command: 1 | Dep-Install | dnsmasq-2.66-12.el7.x86_64 I'm guessing that means it was a dependency for something back then. Is there a way to discover what? Using "yum history info 1" I see that this was the original Anaconda install from 2014. Could dnsmasq be in the original minimal disk installer?
