Description AsciiWolf 2018-01-24 16:01:30 UTC 
Description of problem:
New packages that are supplements of another (already installed) package are pulled only when the original package is being upgraded or reinstalled. This is a problem in some cases, for example if a newly added repository has AppStream metadata packages (to enable users to install packages using GNOME Software/KDE Discover) that are supplements of the original Fedora appstream-data package. Please, consider fixing this.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2018-02-20 15:36:31 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 28 development cycle.
Changing version to '28'.
Comment 2 AsciiWolf 2018-06-02 18:34:47 UTC 
Any news?
Comment 3 Ankur Sinha (FranciscoD) 2018-09-16 10:07:15 UTC 
I expect this is the case in all Fedoras. Bumping to rawhide.
Comment 4 Igor Raits 2018-11-30 14:51:22 UTC 
So here is nothing to do from libsolv side, it doesn't know if the package was excluded/broken or it just appeared in the repo, so it doesn't take any action.

DNF should implement install-new-recommends command.
Comment 5 Daniel Mach 2018-11-30 19:08:40 UTC 
How about install-new-weak-deps?
It can be be also Supplements, correct?
Comment 6 Igor Raits 2018-12-01 00:07:02 UTC

> How about install-new-weak-deps?

Please make it same as in other package managers -- install-new-recommends.

> It can be be also Supplements, correct?

Yes.

You need to set solverflags to "addalreadyrecommended" and do empty transaction.
