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.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle. Changing version to 39.
It's probably too late, but still - I cannot reproduce this on any of my f38 machines. Is the issue still reproducible on your system? Do you happen to still have the coredumps you can share? I'm afraid that without more information we cannot do much...

Anyway, this seems to be fixed now. We can close this if you wish. As always, thanks for everything! Dale
