I am interested in experimenting with the cosmic desktop. When attempting to install @cosmic-desktop a bunch of perl is brought it. Digging deeper it seems cosmic-session has a dependency on xdg-desktop-portal-cosmic which brings in all that perl. My experimental environment will not include flatpak anything. There is no need for xdg-desktop-portal stuff.
Rather than opening a bugzilla against cosmic-session I would like to find a way to fool dnf into having the requirement satisfied without actually installing the requirement. How can this be accomplished?
