Description Peter Bieringer 2016-06-25 05:45:08 UTC
Description of problem:
During upgrade from FC23 to FC24 a conflict occurs "seamonkey" can't be upgraded -> therefore temporary deinstalled and tried to install later.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf-1.1.9-2.fc24.noarch


How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -e seamonkey
2. upgrade from FC24 to FC24 
3. dnf install seamonkey

Actual results:

Error: package seamonkey-2.40-3.fc24.x86_64 requires system-bookmarks, but none of the providers can be installed
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages)

=> Misleading somehow because there is an important information missing


Expected results:

Problematic dependency is already shown here.



Additional info:

With given option, the problematic dependency is shown

# LC_ALL=C dnf install seamonkey --allowerasing
