I don't know why shim requires dbxtool, that seems a bit odd to me. I guess we could split off the dbxtool binary in the fwupd binary, but the new binary requires all kinds of fwupd functionality (e.g. like the ESP volume verification) that might be difficult to untangle. i don't even know what "dbxtool" is or if it's really needed for anything at all, Fedora carries many questionable dependencies, fwupd is not needed in virtual machines and renders all the effort of kernel-core to make such setups smaller ineffective i would like not need adding a fake-provides in my "linux-firmware-dummy" which as example prevents vritual machines here for year to install the useless linux-firmware package in kernel-post-install Lets reassign to shim and talk with Peter. Removing fwupd because you have no interest in the functionality now results in an unbootable system with no warning (other than the dependency chain). You might also consider if removing shim might create a new boot entry for grub directly if grub is still installed, so at least the system is usable. As is it seems like it's too easy to break your system with a benign clean-up. my problem is the depndecny chain compared to a single dbxtool package with 35k i use Fedora since 2006 as my daily driver and know that these deps are grrowing directly and indirectly over the years (3 of the dependencies will become a new one which has anotehr 2 deps sooner or later) 2.8 MB plus 20 deps is a joke FEDORA-2021-cab258a413 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 34. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2021-cab258a413 FEDORA-2021-f5540ef3d6 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 32. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2021-f5540ef3d6 FEDORA-2021-cab258a413 has been pushed to the Fedora 34 testing repository.
