Command line error: argument --latest-limit: expected one argument

This worked in Fedora 25.
Comment 1 Igor Gnatenko 2017-03-01 17:29:31 UTC 
what if you remove `-1` and replace it with `1`?

We had to break some things in DNF 2.0...

1 works as expected, but that's the opposite of what I need.
Comment 3 Vedran Miletić 2017-03-07 10:10:12 UTC 
Igor, any update on this? I care about this feature enough that I might look into the issue myself, just let me know if this would help.
Comment 4 Vedran Miletić 2017-03-13 18:48:00 UTC 
The problem  is that -1 is treated as a separate parameter, not as a value for --latest-limit. I looked into dnf/cli/option_parser.py for a few minutes and there is -4 and -6 which have a meaning, but it's not immediately obvious how -1 is handled.
