I think you have to remember to uninstall it yourself. I so rarely uninstall 
things that I haven't pursued this.

Just curious, I haven't found any RPM tools that do the above.


Doesn't apt do this? Apt works great with rpms, you know. 

BTW, I don't think apt does this always--what is the command or setting to 
get it to uninstall bar when you remove foo?
