Hi Miroslav, this is the desired behavior, DNF chooses not to display dependency errors in the latest packages by default. This is with the majority of users in mind. Maintainers and other power users can use '--best'. This has been discussed and documented already, please see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=872948 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=882211 http://akozumpl.github.io/dnf/cli_vs_yum.html#no-skip-broken I'm going to close this as NOTABUG. *** Bug 1084129 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 1084129 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
Description of problem: If you have broken dependencies, dnf will not report it, so user will never get that information. Yum does: --> Finished Dependency Resolution --> Finding unneeded leftover dependencies Found and removing 0 unneeded dependencies Error: xorg-x11-drv-nvidia conflicts with xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-304xx-304.88-12.fc19.x86_64 Error: Package: rhn-sat-cert-sign-0.3-6.el6.noarch (installed) Requires: PyXML Removing: PyXML-0.8.4-28.fc18.x86_64 (@fedora/18) PyXML = 0.8.4-28.fc18 Obsoleted By: python-2.7.5-3.fc19.x86_64 (updates) Not found You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem ** Found 1 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows: And dnf does: Transaction Summary ================================================================================================================================================== Upgrade 61 Packages Total download size: 75 M Is this ok [y/N]: I'm not saying that dnf must behave exactly like yum. But at least some report would be nice. E.g. something like would be nice: Upgrade 61 Packages Warning: rhn-sat-cert-sign, xorg-x11-drv-nvidia skipped due unmet dependencies (run dnf --full-info for more information) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dnf-0.3.9-1.giteff4c49.fc19.noarch How reproducible: deterministic Steps to Reproduce: I installed rhn-sat-cert-sign on F18 and run fedora-upgrade, but this is probably minimalistic reproducer: 1. Install rhn-sat-cert-sign and python and PyXML from F18 to F19 2. yum upgrade
