OK, if those packages had been part of the original installation, they'd either be there or be replaced.  Since they aren't there, they must be part of something you installed later.  Why don't you just install them again and see what happens?

Before starting this thread,
and more since starting this thread,
I spent a lot of time in Fedora docs and Fedora magazine trying to figure out wayland functionality and earlyoom in hopes of solving these for myself. Neither wayland functionality and nor earlyoom could have been a part of my original install (spring of 2013); they were not yet a part of Fedora. They should have been installed as a part of a semi-annual upgrade (currently "dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=nn" and "dnf system-upgrade reboot"), not as a part of patching (currently "dnf --refresh upgrade"). These should not have needed manual installation by me. I really believe it needs to be determined why the semi-annual upgrades fell short, so it can be fixed.

In the case of earlyoom, once this thread is solved, I hopefully can merely "dnf install earlyoom" and that is solved. But for wayland functionality, after 53 posts, we haven't yet figured out what packages (if any) are missing, or what is causing the problem.

Finally, I did not know I was missing earlyoom,
or that there was such a thing as earlyoom,
until I saw it in a post by Ed in previous thread of mine. Likewise, I thought I already had and was already using wayland until that same post from Ed showed me otherwise. I had no idea I was missing anything.
