Description Jens Petersen 2015-07-21 01:04:54 UTC

Description of problem:
dnf silently hides repo dependency breakage.
While this may generally enhance the UX,
it is sometimes desirely to know about broken
dependencies for "dnf update", etc.

So I would suggest adding an option "--show-broken-deps"
(probably not the right name;) that would should
ENVRs that dnf is excluding from a transaction.

Currently I use yum-deprecated for this,
but this is inefficient.

I think we can close this as a duplicate of the bug 1210445, right? The solution is bit different but I believe that it should solve your problem.
