I think some packages (like dkms-nvidia) that the kernel or X depends on need a restart to be completly removed. Are you trying to upgrade your dkms-nvidia drivers or upgrading your kernel? I have found in the past that rpmdrake occasionally is a bit "borked" and sometimes it just doesn't update the package lists until you exit and re-launch it. I prefer using kpackage to uninstall packages and search for installed packages mostly because of the better output from it (and it has a "reload" button). Using rpm from the command line is also not difficult and is more responsive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
