I'm not sure why dnf is eager to remove more than what you want. I think
it's an option you can use to make it remove only what is required, and
unused packages are not touched.

However, in such cases, what I did is:
- check the yum/dnf log for which packages were installed by the time I
installed something with lot of dependencies. Make a list of all RPMs.
- use plain 'rpm -e --test <list>' and see what it does.
- if okay remove '--test' and remove the RPMs.

Regards,
Simon

Simon,

I took the "dnf erase *mate*" output list and removed everything but
the package names. This gave me a 104 package list "trial.txt". With
that I built a for loop at the command line:

# for i in `cat trial.txt`> do
> rpm -e --test $i
> done
I've attached the list of all packages identified by the original "dnf
erase *mate*" exercise. This took a lot of manual editing to strip out
all but the package names to get the list file trial.txt.

Using that in the for loop I captured the output in trial-output.txt.
This will take me some tedious cross checking to make sure only the
packages in trial.txt are affected.

If MATE goes away they are useless.

Dependencies are packages MATE is dependent upon.  Other things
may also be dependent on those packages.

Unused dependencies are things that if MATE were removed have
no other packages dependent on them.  So MAYBE they are no longer
needed and can be removed.

But be careful with these.  Nothing may depend upon them, but you
may use them.  First in your list is ImageMagick.  You may use this
whether MATE is there or not.

The "--noautoremove option prevents removal of "unused
dependencies".
You can then take your list and see which you really don't need and
remove them separately.
