Description
Since kubernetes 1.30, I've noticed that when launching a yum autoremove (on a RHEL8 server ... certainly the same on other distributions), yum is proposing to uninstall kubelet !? (it was not the case with kubernetes <=1.29, I don't know for 1.32)
For example:
From a RHEL8 server still running kubernetes 1.28:
$ sudo rpm -qa kubelet kubeadm
kubeadm-1.28.10-150500.1.1.x86_64
kubelet-1.28.10-150500.1.1.x86_64
$ sudo yum autoremove
Updating Subscription Management repositories.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!
$ sudo rpm -q --whatrequires kubelet
kubeadm-1.28.10-150500.1.1.x86_64
kubelet is a dependency of kubeadm so no uninstall proposed.
From a RHEL8 server running kubernetes 1.31:
$ sudo rpm -qa kubelet kubeadm
kubeadm-1.31.4-150500.1.1.x86_64
kubelet-1.31.4-150500.1.1.x86_64
$ sudo yum autoremove
Updating Subscription Management repositories.
Dependencies resolved.

Operation aborted.
$ sudo rpm -q --whatrequires kubelet
no package requires kubelet
kubelet no more dependent of kubeadm so the uninstall is proposed.
Thank you
