That was why I posted what I did about Fedora 36 (because I had a cut
and paste example immediately to hand).  I'm sure that it's around a
month ago that someone faced NetworkManager being removed for such a
thing on this list.  The central problem keeps cropping up, even if the
specific examples go away.

I had a weird out-of-date one, from my original post.  And bizarrely,
after my

 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

Which did remove *only* those things, and not the 153 other things that
dnf remove wanted to, Evolution refused to run.

evolution: error while loading shared libraries: libgsttranscoder-
1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Evolution did work on that system long before those gstreamer plugins
were ever installed.  And it works again after reinstalling them.  It's
just bonkers.

It's because of these kind of cascading failures that I avoid
installing anything extra unless I'm quite sure I'll really need it,
because removing something can become next to impossible.
