Install 1 Package (+47 Dependent packages) |
So, then when I go to remove the temporary package, I now also need to remove all of the dependent packages that it just installed. That can be a pain to do manually.
Here's Thankfully, YUM has a method I use to make this a bit simplerto remove the package and all of it's otherwise unused dependent packages:

bash
TIMESTAMP=`tail -1 /var/log/yum.log | awk -F: '{ print $1 ":" $2 }' | sed s'/.$//'`
yum remove `grep "$TIMESTAMP" /var/log/yum.log | awk '{ print $5 }' | sed 's/\-[0-9].*$//g' | sed 's/^[0-9]://g'` |

# yum autoremove firefox
