      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      Customer is attempting to remove anaconda-core and the following packages:

       
      anaconda-gui-21.48.22.159-1.el7.x86_64
      anaconda-widgets-21.48.22.159-1.el7.x86_64
      anaconda-user-help-7.5.3-1.el7.noarch
      anaconda-tui-21.48.22.159-1.el7.x86_64
      libreport-anaconda-2.1.11-53.el7.x86_64
      anaconda-core-21.48.22.159-1.el7.x86_64
      libreport-rhel-anaconda-bugzilla-2.1.11-53.el7.x86_64
       
      It appears these packages get pulled in when installing the graphical desktop environment.  Customer would like to know if it is safe to remove these what would the impact be.  I see these types of packages are pulled into RHEL8 and RHEL9 graphical desktop installs.

      What is the impact of this issue to you?
