You're probably not even using that kernel or that version of open-vm-tools.
Look at you /etc/yum.conf file. installonly_limit is probably set to 3, which would mean that it only keeps 3 kernels around. Run 'rpm -qa | grep kernel-2.6' to confirm. Then run 'uname -r' to see which kernel your actually using. It's uninstalling the oldest kernel and packages that are specific to that kernel. You should see a new version of the kmod-open-vm-tools package in the install list. If not, maybe wait a day or so, but it looks like the new package is already out. If the kmod package isn't there, it will want to uninstall open-vm-tools because it's required dependencies aren't available. So good rule of thumb is to wait a couple days before updating to new fedora Kernel releases, but the default is to save three kernels anyway, so if you have a problem you just boot into the old kernel. Anyway, the only issue I see here is that it's removing open-vm-tools, so make sure you have a good value for installonly_limit and that you're getting metadata from rpmfusion. Maybe do a yum clean all and then a yum list --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=rpmfusion-free* Avram ----- Original Message ----- From: "JD" <jd1...@gmail.com> To: "Community support for Fedora users" <users@lists.fedoraproject.org> Sent: Friday, February 18, 2011 12:31:57 PM Subject: Re: Yum update remove some driver or software. In that case, do not use the command line yum. Use the GUI YumX which will let you uncheck things you do not want installed. However, I do not know if it will inform you of impending deletion of something due to dependency resolution.
