Description of problem: After uninstalling libidn from my system, I could no longer use dnf. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dnf - Name : dnf Version : 1.1.3 Release : 1.fc23 Architecture: noarch libidn - Name : libidn Version : 1.32 Release : 1.fc23 Architecture: x86_64 How reproducible: Every time. Just remove the libidn package, and dnf will fail. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Uninstall libidn - sudo dnf remove libidn 2. Attempt to use dnf again, and it will fail Actual results: $ sudo dnf install unrar unzip Traceback (most recent call last): File "/bin/dnf", line 34, in <module> from dnf.cli import main File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/dnf/__init__.py", line 31, in <module> import dnf.base File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/dnf/base.py", line 26, in <module> from dnf.comps import CompsQuery File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/dnf/comps.py", line 29, in <module> import dnf.util File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/dnf/util.py", line 31, in <module> import librepo File "/usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/librepo/__init__.py", line 1001, in <module> import librepo._librepo ImportError: libidn.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Expected results: $ sudo dnf install unrar unzip Last metadata expiration check performed 0:52:07 ago on Wed Nov 11 10:50:26 2015. Package unrar-5.2.3-1.fc22.x86_64 is already installed, skipping. Package unzip-6.0-23.fc23.x86_64 is already installed, skipping. Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. Complete! Additional info: Was removing some unwanted / unneeded apps from my new Fedora 23 install, and wanted to remove rhythmbox. Uninstalled rhythmbox, and along with it being removed, it pulled libidn as no-longer needed.
Reproducer does not work: # dnf remove libidn Dependencies resolved. Error: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: dnf, systemd. Libidn *is* required by dnf (recursively dnf -> librepo -> libcurl -> libidn). Please attach output of 'dnf history info libidn' to show how it was installed/removed.
So, from the initial attempt of running sudo dnf history info libidn: $ sudo dnf history info libidn Last metadata expiration check performed 0:43:01 ago on Thu Nov 12 07:09:53 2015.
