[ale] system lacks kernel support for PPP?

[James P. Kinney III]

Yep. Seems to be an issue with all package systems. binaries are not
owned by a specific package. Package A installs component Z, package B
lists it (correctly or not) and then package B is uninstalled and
removes component Z. Seems like there needs to be a "used by packages"
counter in the rpm database to prevent this.
