I'd like to know why this: dnf remove gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-1.20.3-1.fc36.x86_64 gstreamer1- plugins-bad-free-extras-1.20.3-1.fc36.x86_64 gstreamer1-plugins-bad- freeworld-1.20.3-1.fc36.x86_64 Wants to do all of this (quoted below), it's a virtual system destruct for the want of removing some codecs. What harebrained logic is involved in working this out? It's not competent computer coding by any stretch of the imagination. I'd say that nearly ALL of those things would have been installed on the system before I'd installed those gstreamer things, so they're clearly NOT "dependent" on them. As to why I want to remove them, I'm trying to narrow down why playing some video files *sometimes* crash my system hard. And I say "sometimes" because at other times the same video file will play without any problems. Putting noautoremove into the command reduces the list of things it shouldn't interfere with down from 153 to 46 packages, but it's still interfering with things it shouldn't touch, and will end up destroying the system. I'm yet to see if it actually helps with the crashing problem, but I had to resort to: rpm -e --nodeps gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-1.20.3- 1.fc36.x86_64 gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-extras-1.20.3-1.fc36.x86_64 gstreamer1-plugins-bad-freeworld-1.20.3-1.fc36.x86_64 Dependencies resolved.
