Wouldn't the reinstall accomplish that? I agree, the solution in the
release
notes is concise, easy and quick - and the impact of having some
extra
packages on a system isn't that big of deal (at least not to me)
- but if
you reinstall, the package would be marked as user installed wouldn't
it?
I'm not entirely certain of the answer to that, though it should be quick
to test when I get to a machine later.
But in terms of efficiencies reinstall does a full reinstall of the
package, including download and and scripts. Doing mark installed just
tells dnf what the world is meant to look like.
