why "dnf autoremove" removed my explicitly installed packages?


this page http://dnf.readthedocs.org/en/latest/command_ref.html says
Quote:
Auto Remove Command

dnf [options] autoremove

Removes all leaf packages from the system that were originally installed as dependencies of user-installed packages but which are no longer required by any such package.

found what happen.
I installed those packages via "Gnome Software" graphical tool.

dnf seems not recognize those packages.
dnf only knows packages installed by
Code:
# dnf install blur blur
dnf is not very mature yet, I think.
