RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #1921063

I am copying this bug because: 



User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:87.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/87.0
Build Identifier: 

If you have a rawhide kernel installed (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RawhideKernelNodebug) and try to run "sudo dnf autoremove" it wants to remove all "kernel-modules-extra" packages. 

Reproducible: Happens sometimes, but not always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a rawhide kernel:
"sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo=http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/rawhide-kernel-nodebug/fedora-rawhide-kernel-nodebug.repo"

"sudo dnf update"

2. Try to run "sudo dnf autoremove"
3. See that dnf prompts you to remove all "kernel-modules-extra" packages that are installed

Actual Results:  
If you press "y" it removes all the "kernel-modules-extra" packages. 

Expected Results:  
dnf autoremove shouldn't have detected the "kernel-modules-extra" packages. 

I have tested this on my own machine and inside a VM. Both had the same issue.

I created patches that helps with the problem (https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/1728, https://github.com/rpm-software-management/libdnf/pull/1141). It prevents reason change from unknown to dependency, therefore the issue with autoremove will disappear. But there is still a problem with change from user to unknown.

Tests:  https://github.com/rpm-software-management/ci-dnf-stack/pull/958
