Yep, that makes dnf undo or rollback useless but dnf devs think missing 
packages is not their problem in spite of the fact that it is a requirement 
for dnf rollback or undo to work. I don't know how that logic works for them.

I have been as conservative as possible on this system. It's pretty sad and 
frustrating that Fedora has to break regularly. A few weeks ago CopyQ and 
ownCloud started crashing until that kf5-filesystemblahblah package was fixed. 
Now this had to happen.

I am seriously losing faith in distros that promote the latest and greatest 
software philosophy.
