Also, that's a funny one. So, you can't remove the currently running kernel-core. As expected. BUT, you can remove the currently running kernel/kernel-drivers. That's good because we want those packages to be optionally (un)installable but bad because if you actually require kernel-drivers, well, it's obviously bad. Not sure if there's a good fix to this. We'd either limit people to only being able to get rid of kernel-drivers with some dancing around with different kernel versions and some rebooting, etc. Or we allow people to remove the kernel-drivers of the running kernel which defeats the purpose of the protection. #leSigh Oh (#2), and here, dnf actually differs from yum. dnf protects *none* of the packages. So that's definitely a bug and I'll report it once we know exactly what behavior we want (so that yum and dnf will do the same thing). -- Sandro _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
