I've run into a following roadblock removal of which should be intuitively done combining two actions in one transactions: - downgrading package A with brought package B on its preceding update - removal of package B This might have worked natively using "dnf history undo <transaction>" where transaction refers to the one that previouslu updated A and brought B as a new dependency, but unfortunately, the old packages are no longer tracked in the (rawhide) repository. This means I have to run: dnf downgrade https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/A/...rpm explicitly, but that will not remove package B along, not even after I provide --allowerasing option to dnf. What I would really need is to run a dnf transaction that is a composition of two intertwined actions that will result in a dependencies-satisfying state: downgrade + removal of particular package(s). There does not seem to be any way to achieve this ATM. In my particular case, packages are: A: mesa-{dri-drivers,filesystem,libEGL,libGL,libGLES,libgbm,libglapi,libwayland-egl,libEGL-devel,libGL-devel,libwayland-egl-devel - new: 13.0.3-3.fc26, old: 13.0.3-2.fc26 B: libglvnd-{glx,egl,devel} and I am trying to check the circumstances of [bug 1413579 comment 14] dnf version: dnf-2.0.0-2.fc26.noarch
That's dnf shell is for... It should appear in rawhide in couple of days or week.
Ah, correct, haven't used "yum shell" before but have just run into it as the only solution for an unrelated problem. Thanks.
I can conclude that "dnf shell" (in cooperation with its [new, right?] depsolving) handles some cases yum won't ([bug 1437230]).
