Hello. I was trying to compile software from source code. It requires the C++ compiler, and some libs, including pipewire-devel, which I didn’t have so I’ve installed using sudo dnf install. Now, when I try to update my system, this happens:

$ sudo dnf update

Now, if I do this, it tries to remove my entire plasma-desktop

$ sudo dnf update --best --allowerasing

Error: 
 Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: plasma-desktop
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

Using skip broken fails successfully!

$ sudo dnf update --skip-broken
