This is my face when I have quite a few binaries in /usr/sbin on my office Fedora desktop that aren't owned by any package. Presumably they were once owned by packages, but the packages got removed without the files being removed with them, which isn't supposed to happen.

(My office Fedora install has been around for almost 20 years now without being reinstalled, so things have had time to happen. But some of these binaries date from 2021.)
