Description Erik Skultety 2019-11-21 10:59:46 UTC 
This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #1741381

I am copying this bug because: 
This issue still persists on Fedora 31 and after updating all packages and issuing `dnf autoremove` afterwards still results in the same error with the kernel-core package.


Description of problem:
I installed Fedora Workstation 30, opened a terminal and ran `dnf update`. After all updates were installed, I rebooted the machine and ran dnf autoremove. I was then shown this error:

```
Error: 
 Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: kernel-core
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)
```

`dnf autoremove` will no longer work because of this error. Using --skip-broken doesn't change the output, the same error shows up again.

I ran `dnf update` next, but it was all up to date.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.2.7

How reproducible:
Always, after a fresh install with all updates applied.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install F30 Workstation
2. Install all updates
3. Reboot
4. Try to run `dnf autoremove`

This is a regression. I've installed F30 Workstation a couple of weeks ago and this was not reproducible back then.

I did not remove any packages. The steps described to reproduce it are precisely the things I did.
