Is there some way to remove a certain package and its dependencies?
Yum seems to be able to remove only the specified package.

If you attempt to remove a package which has dependencies, yum will
automatically flag all of its dependencies to be removed. Do you mean the
opposite -- if you remove a package, you want to also remove any packages
which were _only_ required by the package you've given?
