This is probably not going to be workable:
$ sudo dnf -q repoquery --whatrequires python3-dbus | wc -l
106
$ sudo dnf -q repoquery --whatrequires 'python3.7dist(dbus-python)' | wc -l
3
I don't think this was the library that was deprecated either. I'm
pretty sure that was the libdbus-glib library, though this is
unfortunately built on top of that.
I wonder how many of those are actual dependencies or ones that are
legacy where the package uses other method but the dependency remains.
FreeIPA depends on python3-dbus for quite a lot of its essential
functionality. I filed a ticket https://pagure.io/freeipa/issue/8194 to
eventually migrate to GIO-based approach. But I don't think that will
'fix' the dependencies for the rest.
