DNF remove only?

[Geoffrey Leach]

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.
