I think these have been retired because the upstreams for them are dead, and people were concerned about security exploits. There were arguments for keeping them because many applications depend on them and people doubted the security exploit argument. > > How going on ? So, you can probably use packages from older fedoras and install them on F32 if you need them. You'll want to exclude them in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf, or they will be removed as obsolete with each update. But, you are assuming any security risk. Of course, that risk has existed for years. Your call. Installing them will probably allow your opera mail package (another dead upstream) to work again. I think this is the situation that modules / flatpacks etc. is meant to solve by grouping the obsolete software into a single unit. However, that doesn't remove any security concerns that the obsolete packages could be exploited, as I understand it. > I know nothing about "Opera Mail".
