It doesn't replace it with anything, it just considers it okay to remove from the system, because we don't have any protected packages that depend on setup. Technically, the basesystem package is supposed to be protected, but it's not. If it was, then setup would not be removable. In Mageia, we have a package "mageia-dnf-conf" that adds additional protected.d files for protecting core system components. We probably need the same thing for Fedora. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
