A package has been broken and needs to be re-installed. DNF sees the package as installed and won't take any action. DNF remove removes dependencies, so that's a solution, but requires considerable work and is frught with problems.
Any suggestions?

Use "dnf download" to get the RPM in question, and use RPM to reinstall it. Then you have more options.
