No, my ???? refers to your assumptions.
Notice below that ssmtp is *not* a perl script. Also notice that if I remove it I
don't
have any other packages being removed.
So, you need to use the "dnf history" command to show what was being done.
Otherwise, it
is just guesswork.
So, I did "dnf history" and get the id, I did "dnf history 144" and
get:
144 | remove ssmtp | 2019-07-08 00:00 | Removed | 113 EE
As I told in my first mail: more the 100 packages were removed. If you
want the list I can provide it.
I know that ssmtp is not a perl script, my remark was a bit ironic.
