Hello. I just upgraded my Fedora workstation from 36 to 37. As usual, the upgrade process via gnome-software ran smoothly and without any problems. Good work!
I usually run sudo dnf autoremove from time to time, but this time I’m unsure:
[zinn@zmac ~]$ sudo dnf autoremove

Ist dies in Ordnung? [J/n]:
A grep through the installed packages shows that distribution-gpg-keys, libgweather and mozjs91 were replaced with other packages. Removing these packages should be safe.
But I have no idea if geocode-glib2 is a replacement for geocode-glib, for example.
And what about gettext and libindicator-gtk3 (a dependency of gnome-shell-extension-appindicator), those are definitely still needed, or am I wrong?
What’s the general recommendation, just ignore it? Or should dnf autoremove generally not be executed?
Thanks for your opinions.
