How do I uninstall plasma keyboard on fedora? I get this:

$ dnf install plasma-keyboard
Updating and loading repositories:
Repositories loaded.
Package "plasma-keyboard-1:6.7.1-1.fc44.x86_64" is already installed.

$ dnf remove plasma-keyboard 
Failed to resolve the transaction: 
Problem: installed package plasma-workspace-6.7.1-1.fc44.x86_64 requires plasma-keyboard(x86-64), but none of the providers ca
n be installed 
  - installed package plasma-desktop-6.7.1-1.fc44.x86_64 requires plasma-workspace, but none of the providers can be installed 
  - conflicting requests 
  - problem with installed package

I don’t need plasma keyboard and it is obstructing composing with Ctrl+Shift+u+hexcode . Disabling works but after every update it is back again.

I believe this bug is supposed to be fixed, https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=509416, but I’m not sure if that’s the same issue since you’re talking about it changing on updates.

Maybe wait a bit and see if the setting sticks.

At your own risk you can do
rpm --no-deps -e packagename
but it will be re-installed every time you update.
You could exclude that package from updates but then you won’t be able to update plasma-workspaces due to dependencies.

The nice people at KDE woke up and repaired plasma keyboard. With version
plasma-keyboard.x86_64 1:6.7.2-1.fc44 updates this was fixed.

(not sure why dnf state “updates” where there are no updates to plasma keyboard at this moment)

Because 6.7.2-1 comes from the “updates” repo, i.e. every package that has been added to Fedora 44 since it was originally released.

If the package was unchanged since the release of F44, you’d see “fedora” instead of “updates” in that column.
