I have 3 other machines in room that are running Fedora 35, and none of them have the /var/lib/dnf/yumdb directory at all. Think those were all upgraded with clean installs at some point after fedora 30, so think it must be something that just got left over thru an upgrade and probable should have been removed. Think renaming directory for now, and then probable just remove it if nothing shows up. Have another old notebook that also has fedora 35, but it is not running at moment. Will see if it has directory. Little concerned that notebook has 5776 packages installed and it shows that 276 are orphaned?? Don't know if it means that something caused them to be dropped, or if someone just hasn't build a new version of them yet? aespipe was the only one that stood out.
