dnf behavior

[Paolo Galtieri]

Folks,
  a long time ago I installed a number of i686 packages on my system.  I 
now want to remove them.  When I try to remove one particular package I 
get some unexpected behavior.

I do

dnf remove pixman.i686

and I get:

My question is why is it removing so many x86_64 packages and why is 
pixman.i686 dependent on wine.x86_64? Is there a way to remove only the 
i686 packages?

Any help is appreciated.
