Description Adam Miller 2015-07-14 21:14:20 UTC

Description of problem:
yum provides a shell mechanism to allow for the construction of operations within a single transaction, dnf is meant to be a drop in replacement for yum but lacks this functionality entirely.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf-1.0.1-3.fc23.noarch


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf shell

Actual results:
sh-4.3# dnf shell
No such command: shell. Please use /usr/bin/dnf --help
It could be a DNF plugin command, try: "dnf install 'dnf-command(shell)'"


Expected results:
Functionality similar to the following:

sh-4.3# yum-deprecated shell
Yum command has been deprecated, use dnf instead.
See 'man dnf' and 'man yum2dnf' for more information.

Maybe you could share a use case? I think that the "--allowerasing" option is a good replacement.

BTW, AFAIK, DNF is not meant to be a drop in replacement. Did I miss an official document which claims this?
