Description Fabio Valentini 2022-09-13 12:30:13 UTC 
Most packages for the Pantheon desktop were retired from Fedora 37+ due to FTBFS / FTI issues. If any of these packages are installed, they will block upgrading due to conflicts with gnome-shell / mutter:

 Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: gnome-shell
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

Using "--allowerasing" indeed does work around the problem, but this will not help users who upgrade using a GUI.

Therefore I request that Obsoletes for the following packages are added to fedora-obsolete-packages (these are the latest available NEVRs on Fedora 36):

Removing these packages on upgrade should be safe. Both GDM and the GNOME session components will remain installed, so people will not be left without a GUI after rebooting.

I assume there be another build / bodhi update / freeze exception for fedora-obsolete-packages on F37 before GA to actually ship this change?
