This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #1741381 I am copying this bug because: This issue still persists on Fedora 31 and after updating all packages and issuing `dnf autoremove` afterwards still results in the same error with the kernel-core package. Description of problem: I installed Fedora Workstation 30, opened a terminal and ran `dnf update`. After all updates were installed, I rebooted the machine and ran dnf autoremove. I was then shown this error: ``` Error: Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: kernel-core (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages) ``` `dnf autoremove` will no longer work because of this error. Using --skip-broken doesn't change the output, the same error shows up again. I ran `dnf update` next, but it was all up to date. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.2.7 How reproducible: Always, after a fresh install with all updates applied. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install F30 Workstation 2. Install all updates 3. Reboot 4. Try to run `dnf autoremove` This is a regression. I've installed F30 Workstation a couple of weeks ago and this was not reproducible back then. I did not remove any packages. The steps described to reproduce it are precisely the things I did.
