Ijust ran into the following:

zypper in toycars (is just an example).
it requests to install toycars, fmodex and fmodex-devel (the -devel is a
packaging issue, not important for this bug here).

after this finishes, I try rpm -e fmodex-devel; output:
dominique@joshua:~/Documents/src/osc> rpm -e fmodex-devel
error: Failed dependencies:
        libfmodex.so is needed by (installed) fmodex-4.10.01-1.7.i586
        libfmodex.so is needed by (installed) toycars-0.3.5-2.6.i586

ok, so the -devel file is needed (well, the .so should not be in the devel file
in this case).

but if I issue a rm fmodex-devel in zypper, the package get's removed:
zypper> rm fmodex-devel

The following package is going to be REMOVED:
  fmodex-devel 

After the operation, 4.8 M will be freed.
Continue? [yes/no]: y
* Removing fmodex-devel-4.10.01-1.7 [100%]


No indication whatsoever that I'll just break my system (or some application)
like this!
