 python-dnf-plugins-core is also possible

 Name        : python-dnf-plugins-core
 Arch        : noarch
 Epoch       : 0
 Version     : 0.1.10

 Summary     : Core Plugins for DNF
 URL         : https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf-plugins-core
 License     : GPLv2+
 Description : Core Plugins for DNF, Python 2 interface. This package
 enhance DNF
             : with builddep, copr, debuginfo-install, download, kickstart,
             : needs-restarting, repoquery and reposync commands.
 Additionally
             : provides generate_completion_cache, noroot and
 protected_packages
             : passive plugins.

 The dnf-plugins-core package only contains manual pages, whereas
python-dnf-plugins-core contains the actual plugins for python2 and
python3-dnf-plugins-core contains the plugins for python3 (all built from
the same source rpm).

 dnf-plugins-core acts more as a -common package or a meta package that,
currently, pulls python-dnf-plugins-core (but python-dnf-plugins-core
doesn't require dnf-plugins-core); I guess in future when dnf switches to
using python3 by default it'll require python3-dnf-plugins-core.
