What happens with libraries and the RPM graphic tool?

2002-10-02 Thread Jean Francois Martinez
A thing I have noticed with the graphic tool is that it does not show libraries. It loks like it pulls libraries when you install an RPM needing them and that it unin,stalls them when they are no longer required by another RPM. The only problem is what happens when you install software who is not
