Hi,

I have been trying to use rpm or dnf to remove some rpms.
I'd use dnf. It provides a much wider safety net.
I have always assumed that using rpm -e will mess up dnf.
so I never use rpm for any operation that modifies the system.
I think I shot off a foot a decade or so ago doing that.
It won't mess up dnf. dnf uses the rpm database, so it will know that
the package isn't there. However, you won't have any history to track
that you made the change. And if you force a removal, then dnf will
likely be unhappy about missing dependencies at some point in the future.
