Just don't use "dnf autoremove" it is not, and cannot be, your friend
except to perhaps provide a *guideline*, of removable packages. Never
run it without manual review of the target packages.

For whatever reason, autoremove is the default behavior of dnf unless you disable clean_requirements_on_remove, so you can expect this issue to hit new users.
