Yes please. 100 times this. Not everyone is ready to switch to the more cloud based synergy 2. As for the user experience, the Software Update tool uses PackageKit which does not honor dnf excludes, and there doesn't seem to be anyway to exclude it with PackageKit. It looks like this issue was already dealt with in F26 and F27 in Bug 1542286. The same clearly needs to be done for F28 here. Seems that Synergy 2 is now considered Beta and unstable, an the 1.x versions are the only stable ones, see this thread: https://symless.com/forums/topic/5884-are-you-using-synergy-2/ Synergy 1 and 2 are incompatible license-wise and should be considered two separate pieces of software. Workaround for this that seems to work with PackageKit in Fedora 30 You need to add: exclude=synergy to the [updates] section in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo AND [fedora] section in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo To get DNF to ignore the 2.x version and only use the 1.x. Also this appears to work with tools like GNOME Software which uses packagekit (you may need to do something like `pkcon refresh`) See BZ 1256108 for more info This is addressed in master branch and epel8. FEDORA-2019-11001aa636 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 31. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-11001aa636 synergy-1.10.2-1.fc31 has been pushed to the Fedora 31 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for instructions on how to install test updates. You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-11001aa636 synergy-1.10.2-1.fc31 has been pushed to the Fedora 31 stable repository.
