Description David Hill 2023-07-20 01:20:24 UTC

Since last update, dnf core dumps and is unable to proceed to the update due to protected package but before reaching this point, dnf core dumped and stopped working.   Deleting /var/lib/dnf/history* seems to solve part of the issue until another package is installed and dnf starts coredumping again.

[root@server yum.repos.d]# yum update -y
Last metadata expiration check: 0:01:22 ago on Thu 20 Jul 2023 01:16:17 AM UTC.
Error: 
 Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: dnf
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Be on 38
2. dnf update -y
3. core dump
Actual Results:  
core dump

Expected Results:  
install packages or update
