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.

         I have been trying to use rpm or dnf to remove some rpms. Most
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.
