Just as closure for this thread: over the past few days I have had to
do some erasing to get a best install build and the problem seems to
have gone away. I have no concrete data as to what actually cleared the

I tried that but can't remember the exact output. It didn't do anything
positive though. :-(

I think this is a bug. The protected-packages thing shouldn't block
dupes from being removed, just make sure there's at least one
functional package (of the primary architecture!).

I think `dnf distro-sync` should do it.
