It's saying that RPM knows about it, but it might not be from a repository that DNF manages. You can get into that situation when you download and install an RPM manually from a non-repo source, so perhaps you downloaded the Iridium browser RPM that way? I checked Koji, Fedora's build repository it doesn't seem to contain any packages called iridium, so that seems likely. If you want to uninstall Iridium you can do that with "rpm --erase iridium-browser", at which point you could check your system is free of the search hijacker then trying re-installing qutebrowser. If doing so messes up Firefox again at least you'll know where it originated and can look into removing the extension or whatever it's installing to hijaack the search bar. -- Andy The only person to have all his work done by Friday was Robinson Crusoe _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
