I recently updated to F40 KDE, but Jami software [1] bundled Qt6 RPM
package messed up with system Qt6 (see later fix at [2]), so I had to run:
# dnf autoremove
# dnf reinstall $(rpm -qa)
I have noticed an aggressive packaging removal behaviour from "dnf
autoremove", indeed it removed various essential packages, some of them
even installed by default during Fedora installation (complete list at
[3]) For example:
- gdisk
- openssl
- lz4
- java-21-openjdk
dnf man page, says:
====
dnf [options] autoremove
Removes all "leaf" packages from the system that were originally
installed as dependencies of user-installed packages, but which are no
longer required by any such package.
Packages listed in installonlypkgs are never automatically removed by
this command.
====
I wonder:
1) where installonlypkgs is defined, I could not find it in /etc/dnf
2) why it removed also packages that are shipped by default during a
Fedora installation, like gdisk and openssl
