"Yum Update" reinstalling removed packages
On my Fedora 19 system, yum update attempts to reinstall a large number
packages I have previously removed. This should not happen, as the
packages listed are not installed and should not be suggested by yum. How
can I make yum work in the expected manner - with updates suggesting only
upgrades to preinstalled packages.
Background: I have been trying out new DEs - installing and removing them
as I go. Currently, I'm in a DE-less state, booting directly into a tty
terminal. My system has no (or a few hidden) xfce or cinnamon packages to
"upgrade", yet the package manager is suggesting 300 packages to install,
totaling 600M of new install.
