I thought the same thing too...

I understood the nomenclature just fine! ;^) But I guess since I wrote it I
was already clear on what it was doing.

It defiantly sounds buggy... A report would be good for RedHat. Chances are
they just have not implemented that feature in the rawhide/beta RPM yet, but
it is always a good idea when in doubt to report it.

Do you think I need to keep the "bad rpm" option in the config file? I would
say no.

FYI: The @remove is the array that I passed to the autoremove function. When
addressing it in this manner, it returns a numeric value of the number of
entries in the array (in this case the array contains the RPMS to remove). The 
if conditional is considered true when there is > 0 entries in the array.

Happy grabbing! (... wait that did not come out right!)
