rpm -e openssh will fail with dependency-errors

when the only thing you want to remove is ssh, and to only problem while removing/updating is the program itself, client/server/source packages/dev packages of it, then you can remove it with nodeps, or go through the chain like

rpm -e openssh
> dep error opensshclient
rpm -e opensshclient
>deperror opensshserver
rpm -e opensshserver
rpm -e opensshclient
rpm -e openssh

or just do it with nodeps

(just a sample, don't know if its really like this in this case)

but you are right, it's always safer to delete without nodeps


Edit: and lazydog, I think you misunderstand the meaning of --nodeps, it doesn't mean it's not removing dependencies, it means it doesn't check for them
rpm -e without "--nodeps" won't remove dependencies too

You are correct, it should have been 'rpm -e openssh*'.

You are correct and I apologize. (I'll remove my foot now)
