No I didn't, I only tried to remove avahi.  I posted the output, and the
message was held back for moderation because it was over 60kB.  After
quite a while, it was denied by a moderator.

Only over 200 packages depend on it, and you take the system down when
removing avahi.  Good to know that this is nothing serious.

The problem is still there, not only with avahi, and it is a design
flaw, starting with yum not even supporting suggestions.
