The NetworkManager-l2tp package depends on xl2tpd, which depends on
kmod(l2tp_ppp.ko).
$ dnf repoquery --whatprovides 'kmod(l2tp_ppp.ko)'
kernel-debug-modules-extra-0:5.10.18-200.fc33.x86_64
kernel-modules-extra-0:5.10.18-200.fc33.x86_64
When you removed kernel-debug-modules-extra, your system did not have
kernel-modules-extra installed, leaving it with no packages providing
kmod(l2tp_ppp.ko). Therefore, xl2tpd had to be removed, which in turn
required the removal of NetworkManager-l2tp.
When you reinstalled NetworkManager-l2tp, its dependency on xl2tpd required
something providing kmod(l2tp_ppp.ko) to be installed. Of the two packages
that provide kmod(l2tp_ppp.ko), kernel-modules-extra has the shorter name,
so it was installed to satisfy the dependency. (Yum, at least, used the
"shorter name" rule. I'm just guessing that dnf does likewise.)
I missed 'kernel-modules-extra' among the packages that were installed.
Thanks!
Yes, that was an annoying bug from a while back. The debug packages got
pulled in instead of the non-debug one.
