[mythtv-users] building mythtv w/ Fedora 26 - RPM Fusion package dependencies

[Richard Shaw]

There is nothing requiring the mythplugin package other than the main
mythtv meta package that brings in everything. This is DNF being too
aggressive in removing package it thinks you don't need.

You probably did the original install as "dnf install mythtv". DNF installs
all the required packages but only the mythtv package is marked as
installed by the user, therefore all of the dependencies that are brought
in can be automatically removed because of the default setting in
/etc/dnf/dnf/conf, "clean_requirements_on_remove=True".

You can change that value OR mark installed all the packages you want to
keep from, for example:

# dnf mark installed mythtv-frontend mythtv-backend mythtv-docs mythweb

The next time you do "dnf erase mythplugins" the list should be much
shorter. Just make sure you review the list so you're sure you got all the
packages you want to keep marked as user installed.

Thanks,
Richard
