Description Ben McMonagle 2016-01-16 01:26:22 CET 
Description of problem:After installing dhcpcd, attempting to remove dhcp-client invokes a list of dependencies to remove which includes: [root@localhost ~]# urpme dhcp-client
To satisfy dependencies, the following 9 packages will be removed (58MB):
  cinnamon-2.8.4-3.mga6.i586
   (due to missing networkmanager-applet,
    due to missing cinnamon-control-center,
    due to missing cinnamon-translations,
    due to missing cinnamon-screensaver)
  cinnamon-control-center-2.8.1-1.mga6.i586
   (due to missing networkmanager-applet,
    due to missing cinnamon-translations)
  cinnamon-screensaver-2.8.0-1.mga6.i586
   (due to missing cinnamon-translations)
  cinnamon-translations-2.8.2-1.mga6.noarch
   (due to missing cinnamon)
  dhcp-client-4.3.3P1-1.mga6.i586
  nemo-2.8.6-1.mga6.i586
   (due to missing cinnamon-translations)
  networkmanager-1.0.10-1.mga6.i586
   (due to missing dhcp-client)
  networkmanager-applet-1.0.10-1.mga6.i586
   (due to missing networkmanager)
  task-cinnamon-minimal-2.8-1.mga6.noarch
   (due to unsatisfied cinnamon >= 2.8,
    due to unsatisfied cinnamon-control-center >= 2.8,
    due to unsatisfied cinnamon-translations >= 2.8,
    due to unsatisfied cinnamon-screensaver >= 2.8,
    due to unsatisfied nemo >= 2.8)

dhcp-client should not be explicitly required by these packages.

Assigning to cinnamon maintainer.

Comment 3 Jani Välimaa 2017-02-08 21:12:10 CET 
Networkmanager doesn't require dhcp-client anymore, so I think this should be FIXED.
