How to force removal of protected package?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.

$ 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.
