On my F41 system upgraded from F40, it is using /etc/redhat-release to store its release version which for me contains Fedora release 41 (Forty One)   and /usr/share/fedora/fedora-release-common contains nothing but a legal txt file and a license file, there is no fedora sub-folder of licenses.
Command "rpm -qa /*fedora-release-common/*" produces nothing.


After I got it all cleaned up, I did not have them either.
Am I doing something wrong then when I did not have to do any cleanup for the system to be in this state? As a side issue, I might be treading on thin ice here, I have never done any of the post-install processes on any version of Fedora. Until I saw references to them in this list when I was on F39, I didn't know they existed to even go looking for them. I did one try dnf autoremove and that wanted to remove half my system, so I abandoned that process, and issuing it now wants to remove 299 packages, some of which look to be old from their names, but how do I know whether they are actually redundant or whether I am using something from them. For example, it wants to remove package f36-backgrounds-gnome, how do I know whether I am using a background from that package hence should not be removed?

regards,
Steve
