You see why I wonder if it's worth it. Take what I say with a grain of salt, I too am a mostly clueless Mate on Fedora user. Don't know if you are a user of the Mate GUI for Dnf found in System > Administration > dnfdragora > Information > History. This provides a nice graphical view of the dnf history sorted by date/time/name of the updated and installed programs. If you install one program at a time, it is really easy to see what dependencies were pulled in for which program. For example: It shows that on 30 May I installed VLC which pulled in 50 other packages with it. One of them being the kde-filesystem. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
