This is the dependency relationship: kiwi-cli -> python3-kiwi -> kiwi-systemdeps -> kiwi-systemdeps-disk-images -> kiwi-systemdeps-bootloaders -> grub2-efi-x64 and grub2-efi-ia32 However, uninstalling kiwi-cli should not trigger this error. It should just uninstall all parts of the set that are not protected, since not autoremoving something should not be a critical failure. -- 真実はいつも一つ!/ Always, there's only one truth! -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
