protected_packages

list

List of packages that DNF should never completely remove. They are protected via Obsoletes as well as user/plugin removals.

The default is: dnf, glob:/etc/yum/protected.d/*.conf and glob:/etc/dnf/protected.d/*.conf. So any packages which should be protected can do so by including a file in /etc/dnf/protected.d with their package name in it.

DNF will protect also the package corresponding to the running version of the kernel. See also protect_running_kernel option
