All those packages are unneeded, so dnf automatically removes them. --setopt=clean_requirements_on_remove=False but next dnf autoremove/remove will clean them... So if you want any of those packages, use `dnf mark install` on them. Igor, I a little confused about what you've said. These packages are already installed. Marking them as install wouldn't change that, right? I presume that you mean not needed by other packages. Yes? That doesn't mean that someone (a user) isn't using them. See the confusion? Regards, George... |
Created attachment 1299265 [details] tar.gz of debugdata created by dnf for this problem Description of problem: Attempting to remove kernel packages related to the git6 kernel which possibly has a bug that precludes booting successfully.
