Description ricky.tigg 2019-12-11 17:14:44 UTC 
Description of problem: Protected packages are listed as auto-removable

Version-Release number of component: dnf.noarch 4.2.17-1.fc31

# dnf -qy autoremove 
Error: 
 Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: kernel-core

Expected results: Protected packages not to be eligible for removing, thus not listed.
Comment 1 Pavla Kratochvilova 2019-12-17 12:50:34 UTC 
The problem is fixed in dnf-4.2.17 for newly installed systems. On older systems, however, dnf is still trying to remove the kernel, because it forgot the original install reason. To fix it, just run "dnf mark install kernel kernel-modules".
