Description of problem: Applies only to Fedora Workstation earlyoom is not being pulled in when upgrading F30/F31 to F32, but should be. It is in clean installs but not upgrades (either dnf system-upgrade or Software). There's been some difficulty figuring out how to get it pulled in on upgrades. Current idea is a workaround by adding a weak dependency: supplements fedora-release-workstation https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/138 This is an approved feature for F32 including upgraded systems. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/EnableEarlyoom Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): earlyoom-1.5-1.fc32.x86_64 fedora-release-workstation-32-0.8.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade f30/f31 to f32 2. 3. Actual results: No earlyoom package present Expected results: earlyoom package should be installed and running Additional info: If FE is not approved then upgraded systems will not have earlyoom, and will differ in behavior from clean f32 systems when in low memory situations.
Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 32-final by Fedora user chrismurphy using the blocker tracking app because: Having parity between clean and upgraded systems for this approved feature is desired.
