Ask Fedora

Hello,

Fresh install of Fedora Workstation 42 here. I tried to remove firefox and its language packs.

$ sudo dnf remove --noautoremove firefox firefox-langpacks
Package                                       Arch     Version                                       Repository                                 Size

Transaction Summary:

I couldn’t find much information on what anaconda-webui is and why it’s being uninstalled with firefox. I see the github page here GitHub - rhinstaller/anaconda-webui: Anaconda Web UI planning and discussions. but it is not super descriptive.

What would break, if anything, if anaconda-webui is removed?

Anaconda is the installer for Fedora. Anaconda-WebUI is the new web version of the installer. Checking sudo dnf list --installed *anaconda* I don’t have any anaconda elements installed. But then I install from the minimal everything netinstall image. If you install with the Workstation or full fat DE Spins, it probably leaves it behind during install.

anaconda-webui is the installer for Fedora. Once installed, you don’t need it anymore and removing firefox renders the installer unusable anyway, as it depends on firefox.

Thanks, I did use the Workstation live image to install
