Hi Everyone, I had a dnf-system-upgrade go sideways. It was due, in part, due to a Python3 install in /usr/local. The other part had to do with the machine going to sleep while I was ssh'd into the machine. I now want to get rid of GNOME and use the machine from the command line. $ sudo dnf group remove gnome-desktop Warning: Module or Group 'gnome-desktop' is not installed. Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. Complete! $ sudo dnf group remove @gnome-desktop Warning: Module or Group '@gnome-desktop' is not installed. Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. Complete! $ sudo dnf group remove gnome-desktop-environment Warning: Module or Group 'gnome-desktop-environment' is not installed. Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. Complete! $ sudo dnf remove gnome* Error: Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected package s: gnome-shell (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages) I've read the dnf(8) man page, but I don't see how to remove a protected package. How do I force the removal of a protected package? Thanks in advance. -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
