Removing unused dependencies is optional. dnf remove *subscription* --noautoremove should remove the dependent packages but keep thee unused dependencies if you want them. There's also a setting in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf to set the default behaviour of the autoremove function. Having said that, I don't have any of those packages in your list on my system and it's working fine. So removing them (probably) won't break anything. ------------------------------------------ Frank, Thanks for the help.
