Because gdb recommends you use it whenever it detects that debuginfo 
is missing. :-) Then the process for figuring out how to install it is 
unnecessarily complex; you either have to magically know that it's 
present in dnf-plugins-extras, or else magically know about the 
yum2dnf man page and scroll to the very bottom of that (which I only 
found because I ran the old debuginfo-install command, which gdb no 
longer recommends, so new users won't find it). Much better to just 
install it by default, IMO. Or make it a dependency of gdb: that would 
be fine too. (Gosh, another great case for Recommends, if only we were 
allowed to use Recommends!)

Anyway, whatever in dnf-plugins-extras that depends on snapper really 
ought to move to another package. That is not a reasonable dependency. 
It tries (and fails) to snapshot my system whenever I run 'dnf', hence 
I uninstalled dnf-plugins-extras soon after I installed it.
