Description bob mckay 2014-12-23 09:30:48 UTC 
Description of problem:
When fedup generates an install that it warns may not work, it gives no indication how to recover. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Reliably

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run fedup on a system with an upgrade problem (e.g. F20 with xorg-x11-drv-r128)

Actual results:
WARNING: problems were encountered during transaction test:
  broken dependencies
    xorg-x11-drv-r128-6.9.2-1.fc20.x86_64 requires xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.14.4-13.fc20.x86_64
Continue with the upgrade at your own risk.

Expected results:
The warning is great. However it would be even greater if it advised how to recover (i.e. at this point, the user has a system that they can't reboot because if they do, it will go ahead and install a probably broken F21). This message needs to advise how to remove the broken install created by fedup.
