Hi,

deinstalling the rpmfusion package
"pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-freeworld", which should not be required by
anything:

[root@fedorapine ~]# rpm -q --whatrequires
pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-freeworld
Kein Paket benötigt pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-freeworld
(no package needs ... )
Looks like you fell into the trap of not considering "virtual provides".
The rpm query you pasted above only queries for exact matches, but not
for dependencies on virtual provides provided by the package of the
same name.

Yes, that may cause the missing output in rpm, but it wasn't the point of my post:

Why can a rpmfusion rpm be so deep "chained" into the tree, that it removes i.e. gnome-shell, a major package from Fedora repo, which does not have even heared about that subpackage in rpmfusion.

if the "pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-freeworld" package has been installed independently from all those (in the erase tree) additional considered packages, why can it trigger such a cascade? It is simply not important enough to cause this. If it never had been installed, the functionality of all those apps would not change.

I want to understand, why this could happen. What caused this big cascade, if we add some unimportant part, noone needs to operate correctly?!?

You need to read the previous email again more carefully.
The chain is gnome-shell -> gnome-bluetooth -> pulseaudio-module-bluetooth.

# dnf repoquery --whatprovides pulseaudio-module-bluetooth
pipewire-pulseaudio-0:0.3.45-1.fc35.x86_64
pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-0:15.0-2.fc35.x86_64
pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-freeworld-0:1.4-8.fc35.x86_64

You can only have one of those installed at a time, they conflict with each other. But you have to have one installed for gnome-shell. If you remove the package that is currently providing that requirement, you will take out gnome-shell and many other things as well. It's not an "additional" package. At some point you must have installed it yourself and it would have required removing the pulseaudio-module-bluetooth package at the same time.
