Description Harald Reindl 2019-09-10 12:15:46 UTC 
on a testsystem with immutable flag on config files (chattr +i) update via dnf failed in a way that "libtirpc" (luckily) is physically still there but neither the old nor the new version are in the rpmdatabase

there is no point that this leads in "The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: kernel-core" when try to find out which packages besides libtirpc needs a dnf install with "dnf repoquery --unsatisfied"

this operation is not supposed to change anything on the system at all

-------------------------

it's easily reproduceable:

[root@firewall:~]$ rpm -e --justdb --nodeps libtirpc

[root@firewall:~]$ dnf repoquery --unsatisfied
Last metadata expiration check: 0:03:25 ago on Tue Sep 10 14:05:42 2019.

 Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: kernel-core

-------------------------

[root@firewall:~]$ rpm -qa | grep dnf | sort
dnf-4.2.8-1.fc30.noarch
dnf-data-4.2.8-1.fc30.noarch
libdnf-0.35.2-1.fc30.x86_64
python3-dnf-4.2.8-1.fc30.noarch
python3-dnf-plugin-leaves-4.0.9-1.fc30.noarch
python3-dnf-plugins-core-4.0.9-1.fc30.noarch
python3-libdnf-0.35.2-1.fc30.x86_64

and when you are at it please make sure that in case of cpio errors in /etc a package not disappears from the rpmdatabase completly
Comment 1 Harald Reindl 2019-09-10 12:21:08 UTC 
also not very nice and one of the immutable files is the trigger, same applies to glibc updates

Comment 3 Ben Cotton 2020-04-30 20:19:03 UTC 
This message is a reminder that Fedora 30 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 30 on 2020-05-26.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '30'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 30 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.
