Description Nicolas Dietrich 2014-11-11 03:33:21 UTC
While `yum upgrade` lists the previous version of installed packages, such as in

    ---> Package libcurl.x86_64 0:7.32.0-14.fc20 will be updated
    ---> Package libcurl.x86_64 0:7.32.0-15.fc20 will be an update

, the dnf upgrade table doesn't contain this information.

Ideally, this table would simply include another column "old version", which allows for a quick overview of what is being upgraded from which version.

Comment 1 Jan Zeleny 2014-11-21 11:45:11 UTC
Hello, thank you for reporting this. Since it is rather cosmetic change, setting low priority.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 13:16:15 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 3 Christopher Beland 2015-06-10 16:34:20 UTC
This is still a problem in dnf-1.0.0-1.fc22.noarch; the version of the to-be-upgraded package is not reported until after the upgrade is already underway.

Comment 4 Gwendal 2015-08-05 09:31:34 UTC
I agree, this would be nice!

For instance I like how yaourt (pacman frontend on archlinux) displays the upcoming changes:

Comment 5 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2016-07-08 09:32:21 UTC
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 20:52:21 UTC
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 9 Jaroslav Mracek 2017-06-23 16:09:58 UTC
DNF-2.5.1 supports output that was previously known from yum but only in verbose mode (--verbose):

---> Package sssd-nfs-idmap.x86_64 1.15.2-3.fc25 will be upgraded
---> Package sssd-nfs-idmap.x86_64 1.15.2-5.fc25 will be an upgrade
---> Package tbb.x86_64 2017.6-1.fc25 will be upgraded
---> Package tbb.x86_64 2017.7-1.fc25 will be an upgrade


If we will provide additional information in table, the table will have doubled size. Because the requested information is available in verbose mode, I can close it.
