There is something weird going on there. It looks a lot like the google-earth stuff is providing some kind of core stuff which should usually come from a Fedora package, so that package isn't installed. But I dunno how you got in that state in the *first* place. What does `rpm -q --provides google-earth` show? sorry for the second reply... but, google earth still works. I don't remember when exactly I installed it, or from where. I was deep into a bit of friends code he is using on robotics, which uses the google earth api for its mapping. I get one track minded when chasing software, and that package is 4 or 5 languages, deep directory stuff, lots of indirect and text parsing in the web interface, so my mind was in a different space when it asked for google earth. I normally load such things just using dnf install, but I seem to remember that I couldn't find google earth with dns (probably typos or text inversion), so I may have downloaded it from google.
