Perhaps dnf thinks google-earth is now the authority on %{_bindir} ? So removing it is tearing the rug out from under all those others?
Well, I don't think so, as I'd expect that to rip out much *more* stuff. I think it must be something a bit more odd than /usr/bin . The 'filesystem' package provides /usr/bin too, and that ought to be installed.

That's a good point.  What does `rpm -V filesystem` show?

Nothing!# rpm -V filesystem

I think you're in good shape then.  It sounds like the `rpm -e` did what was needed and you're now back to a more normal Fedora.  I suspect your upgrade will go smoothly now.
