Even better: "dnf mark remove $(cat list)
dnf mark remove <package-spec>...
Unmarks the specified packages as installed by user. Whenever you as a user don't need a specific pack‐
age you can mark it for removal. The package stays installed on the system but will be removed when
Autoremove Command or Remove Command along with clean_requirements_on_remove configuration option set
to True is executed. You should use this operation instead of Remove Command if you're not sure whether
the package is a requirement of other user installed packages on the system.

the ones I am concerned with are docker related, and or to do with go
(golang). You certainly can't use wildcards with rpm erase. I have a
list generated with the date these rpms were installed, but I am not
THAT good with CLI and bash operations like cut, xargs, sed and so on to
alter the list; and I wouldn't be sure how to pipe the list contents or
redirect to rpm the text's content from the ascii text file, to erase
these particular rpms. Is there a way to mass erase many files (with rpm
switches or such) using rpm? Here is an example of what I have been
trying to do, ex:
list.txt,
gcc-devel // example,
python-devel //example
rpm -e // would this list content be redirectable to rpm -e ?
cat list.txt
lists rpms,
rpm -e < cat list, or
cat list | rpm -e
do not work.
