Sure, could you still use Package please, and only fill in the details
that are known, for instance:

package<tab>1<tab>gnome-keyring-manager;;;<tab> then even if we can't
display "Removing GNOME Keyring Manager" we can still display
"Removing gnome-keyring-manager".

No problem, I'm running and building yum from git.

Sure, we can just up the deps on the srpm - but is there a way of
finding the yum version at configure time? does yum install a
pkgconfig file?
