Today I ran sudo dnf update on a rather new Fedora install and noticed that it was trying to install virtualbox-guest-additions, even though I don’t even have virtualbox installed. The only thing I have installed that is related to virtualization is virt-manager. And the rest of the packages pending update are system packages like kernel, pipewire, git, etc. So I have no idea what is pulling in virtualbox-guest-additions. Here’s the full list of packages pending install:
