[Yum] Dependencies on Removing Packages

Hi,

I'm trying to remove some packages in a different way. By default, yum
removes all packages that depends on the one being removed.

The portable NetBSD package system (runs on GNU/Linux too) has useful
options regarding this, like -r and -R in pkg_delete. The parameter -r
is what yum does, by default.

I would like to remove the given package and any packages it depends on,
unless some other package still needs a dependent package.

Are there any way to do this with yum?

pkg_delete manpage can be found at:

Thank you.
