So after running dnf update on Dec 2, I can no longer log in as root in a console. I shut down last night, and when I booted this morning, the problem was there. I can su to root, and the root account is still present in /etc/shadow, as is the root directory. I have seen that root is being removed from install unless explicitly requested, but I thought that was only for new installs and existing installs wouldn't be affected. Does anyone have any ideas about what might have gone wrong? Here is the list of updates that caused the problem (if it was an update, and there isn't something else going on). 2022-12-02T09:44:47-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: authselect-1.4.0-3.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:47-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: sane-backends-devel-1.1.1-9.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:47-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: gd-devel-2.3.3-6.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:47-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: libavif-devel-0.10.1-3.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:47-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: libass-devel-0.16.0-2.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:47-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: hplip-gui-3.22.10-1.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:47-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: hplip-3.22.10-1.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:48-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: libsane-hpaio-3.22.10-1.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:48-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: hplip-libs-3.22.10-1.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:48-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: sane-backends-drivers-scanners-1.1.1-9.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:48-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: sane-backends-drivers-cameras-1.1.1-9.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:48-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: sane-backends-1.1.1-9.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:49-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: sane-backends-libs-1.1.1-9.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:49-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: gd-progs-2.3.3-6.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:49-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: efl-1.26.3-1.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:50-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: python3-matplotlib-qt5-3.6.2-1.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:51-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: python3-matplotlib-gtk3-3.6.2-1.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:51-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: mock-3.4-1.fc37.noarch 2022-12-02T09:44:55-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: python3-matplotlib-3.6.2-1.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:55-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: python3-matplotlib-data-3.6.2-1.fc37.noarch 2022-12-02T09:44:55-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: gd-2.3.3-6.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:55-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: kf5-kimageformats-5.100.0-1.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:55-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: darktable-4.0.1-5.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:56-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: python3-matplotlib-data-fonts-3.6.2-1.fc37.noarch 2022-12-02T09:44:56-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: mock-filesystem-3.4-1.fc37.noarch 2022-12-02T09:44:56-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: hplip-common-3.22.10-1.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:56-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: php-phpspec-prophecy-1.15.0-3.fc37.noarch 2022-12-02T09:44:56-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: freeipa-healthcheck-core-0.11-5.fc37.noarch 2022-12-02T09:44:56-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: libavif-0.10.1-3.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:56-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: python3-matplotlib-tk-3.6.2-1.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:56-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: efl-devel-1.26.3-1.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:56-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: libass-0.16.0-2.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:56-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: authselect-libs-1.4.0-3.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:56-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: xdg-desktop-portal-gtk-1.14.0-2.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:56-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: python3-regex-2022.9.13-1.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:56-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: perl-Object-Pad-0.71-1.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:56-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: libbluray-1.3.3-1.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:56-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: darktable-tools-noise-4.0.1-5.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:56-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: certmonger-0.79.15-4.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:57-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: SDL2_image-2.6.1-1.fc37.x86_64 2022-12-02T09:44:57-0700 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: kiwi-tools-9.24.50-1.fc37.x86_64
