Description Kevin Kofler 2018-01-04 15:49:31 UTC

Description of problem:
In the latest update, dnfdragora includes:
Recommends: dnfdragora-updater
This drags in dnfdragora-updater on the KDE Plasma Spin on updates and will do so again and again on every update of the package. This is very broken because dnfdragora-updater duplicates the plasma-pk-updates updater installed by default.

Please remove this Recommends as soon as possible (in all releases including Rawhide).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnfdragora-1.0.1-8.git20171229.24e4647.fc26
dnfdragora-1.0.1-8.git20171229.24e4647.fc27
dnfdragora-1.0.1-8.git20171229.24e4647.fc28

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the KDE Spin.
2. Apply updates.

Actual results:
dnfdragora-updater gets dragged in by Recommends.

Expected results:
dnfdragora-updater does NOT get pulled in.

Additional info:
Since DNF reinstalls Recommends on every update of the recommending package (unless explicitly excluded), this Recommends needs to go away permanently.

Comment 2 Neal Gompa 2018-01-04 16:27:56 UTC

The "dnfdragora-gui" Provides needs to stay in the main package (so reverse rich deps work correctly). The correct thing to do would be to have Obsoletes but no Recommends. That way it'll install one time, and then it can be de-installed afterward.

Comment 3 Kevin Kofler 2018-01-04 16:38:25 UTC

Obsoletes: %{name}-gui in the -updater subpackage is acceptable, Obsoletes: %{name} is not, and the Recommends is also not.
