I have now tried it on two other computers, with the exact same
result. So Marko, it is not PEBKAC. Try 'yum erase avahi' yourself.
I did, and it only wanted to remove wine packages as dependencies.
However, this was on F18, rather than F19.
If this yum output is reproducible on F19, then I suggest
that you file a bug against avahi (or maybe avahi-glib and avahi-libs)
and complain against unnecessary dependencies. And do emphasize
there that this is a regression from F18, which doesn't have that
problem.
I'd be interested to follow-up on that bugreport, so please post a link
to it here.
Best, :-)
