I just discovered that a whole bunch of packages just got deleted from my F27 system after doing an update. This happened on 2 different systems. I discovered this after I had to reboot one of them because the laptop screen went blank. After rebooting it never went to graphics mode. I discovered then that the gdm package had been deleted. I then looked at the dnf.log file and it shows that 12 packages were updated and 119 packages were removed. WTF?
The root cause for this is likely my bad, sorry. I did a security update for soundtouch and I did not realize that F27 was at an older version, so the update introduces a soname change. I became aware of this yesterday but did not immediately rush to fix it, because dnf's normal behavior is to just ignore the new soundtouch package due to broken deps. AFAIK the behavior you are seeing should only happen if you specify --allow-erasing or have set the same option in your dnf.conf. My apologies for this. I believe the main culprit in the dep-chain leading to this removals is gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free I will go and do a rebuild of that against the new soundtouch right away (and after that also rebuild the other packages depending on soundtouch).
