Thanks for a bug report. Okay, I can enable the build option. There's no way for the user to change the behavior, in contrast to the DNF, but let's see whether it'll cause any trouble. I have just tested this on a clean, latest Rawhide installation and it seems to work fine. Uninstalling a package using Software correctly resulted in its unneeded dependencies also being removed and there was no system breakage or other bad things. :-) For example, here is a log from removing gnome-boxes using Software: úno 24 15:11:51 fedora PackageKit[1172]: in /59_dabcbade for remove-packages package gnome-boxes;42~alpha-2.fc36;x86_64;installed was removing for uid 1000 úno 24 15:11:51 fedora PackageKit[1172]: in /59_dabcbade for remove-packages package libvirt-gobject;4.0.0-4.fc36;x86_64;installed was removing for uid 1000 úno 24 15:11:51 fedora PackageKit[1172]: in /59_dabcbade for remove-packages package libvirt-daemon-kvm;8.0.0-2.fc36;x86_64;installed was removing for uid 1000 úno 24 15:11:51 fedora PackageKit[1172]: in /59_dabcbade for remove-packages package libvirt-daemon-driver-storage;8.0.0-2.fc36;x86_64;installed was removing for uid 1000 úno 24 15:11:51 fedora PackageKit[1172]: in /59_dabcbade for remove-packages package libvirt-daemon-driver-qemu;8.0.0-2.fc36;x86_64;installed was removing for uid 1000 úno 24 15:11:51 fedora PackageKit[1172]: in /59_dabcbade for remove-packages package libvirt-daemon-driver-network;8.0.0-2.fc36;x86_64;installed was removing for uid 1000 úno 24 15:11:51 fedora PackageKit[1172]: in /59_dabcbade for remove-packages package libvirt-daemon-driver-nodedev;8.0.0-2.fc36;x86_64;installed was removing for uid 1000 úno 24 15:11:51 fedora PackageKit[1172]: in /59_dabcbade for remove-packages package libvirt-daemon-driver-interface;8.0.0-2.fc36;x86_64;installed was removing for uid 1000 <full log truncated> úno 24 15:11:51 fedora PackageKit[1172]: in /59_dabcbade for remove-packages package mdevctl;1.1.0-3.fc36;x86_64;installed was removing for uid 1000 úno 24 15:11:51 fedora PackageKit[1172]: in /59_dabcbade for remove-packages package dnsmasq;2.86-5.fc36;x86_64;installed was removing for uid 1000 úno 24 15:11:51 fedora PackageKit[1172]: in /59_dabcbade for remove-packages package lzop;1.04-8.fc36;x86_64;installed was removing for uid 1000 úno 24 15:11:51 fedora PackageKit[1172]: in /59_dabcbade for remove-packages package systemd-container;250.3-4.fc37;x86_64;installed was removing for uid 1000 úno 24 15:11:51 fedora PackageKit[1172]: in /59_dabcbade for remove-packages package libvirt-gconfig;4.0.0-4.fc36;x86_64;installed was removing for uid 1000 úno 24 15:11:51 fedora PackageKit[1172]: in /59_dabcbade for remove-packages package gvncpulse;1.3.0-2.fc36;x86_64;installed was removing for uid 1000 úno 24 15:11:51 fedora PackageKit[1172]: remove-packages transaction /59_dabcbade from uid 1000 finished with success after 20469ms I found out that the `-Dpackagekit_autoremove=true` flag is missing in gnome-software.spec from the Fedora 36 branch. Will this fix be backported? I may be wrong, but I think that the plan was to enable it in Rawhide/Fedora 37 since it got enabled when F36 was already branched. :-) Correct, it was "safer" to do it only in the rawhide, thus f37 at that time, also because it was not clear when/whether the PackageKit will be updated in the f36, because the option makes sense only with a patched PackageKit. PackageKit-1.2.5-1.fc36.x86_64 is currently installed here in F36 and the autoremove support was introduced in 1.2.4: https://github.com/PackageKit/PackageKit/commit/3d6d285c626e6941581c7bee337a012428c943df#diff-7ee66c4f1536ac84dc5bbff1b8312e2eef24b974b3e48a5c5c2bcfdf2eb8f3ceR40 Correction: was introduced in 1.2.5, so the proper version of PackageKit is already available in the F36 branch. Okay, I do not mind that much, it can be reverted if needed. I prepared the change locally. Unless anything bad happens it'll be included together with the next upstream release/update in f36. FEDORA-2022-b5b948abe2 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 36. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2022-b5b948abe2 FEDORA-2022-b5b948abe2 has been pushed to the Fedora 36 testing repository. Soon you'll be able to install the update with the following command: `sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing --advisory=FEDORA-2022-b5b948abe2` You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2022-b5b948abe2 See also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for more information on how to test updates. FEDORA-2022-b5b948abe2 has been pushed to the Fedora 36 stable repository. If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report. |
