Removing a software doesn't remove it's dependencies

Removing a software doesn't also remove it's dependencies For example: installing endless-sky will also install endless-sky-data , when we remove/uninstall : only endless-sky package removed but endless-sky-data left installed Thanks
This bug is still present. It comes up often when replacing apps with their Flatpak versions, for instance. Thankfully dnf autoremove cleans everything up, but that is an extra step that shouldn't be necessary.

This is intentional; dnf and packagekit don't (yet) share a history database. We can fix this when the new dnf comes along.
