Except of course that the packages sudo, systemd, and systemd-udev are protected and you cannot do "dnf remove" on them even if you are removing a duplicate :-(

I tried "dnf remove --duplicates" but that downloaded 2.3GB and then failed to do anything due to dependency failures.
Pragmatically I am not sure can try your suggestion as actually there are 2242 problem packages not just three. :-(
On the other hand it seems that the output of "dnf check" can be piped through "grep 'is a duplicate with'" and awk to select the first column which is the name of the package that is being replaced so it can go into a "xargs dnf remove" assuming dnf can take 2000+ arguments.
I had assumed this is what "dnf remove --duplicates" would do, but it doesn't.
