(CC'ing Bjorn Esser, maintainer of dnfdragora in Fedora) Most likely not. The "dnfdragora-gui" package needs to be renamed to "dnfdragora-updater" and then removed from the default install in favor of "dnfdragora" itself, since we switched to rich dependencies to correctly install the libyui things. "dnfdragora-gui" will need to be provided by "dnfdragora" so that the rich deps still resolve as expected. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ kde mailing list -- kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kde-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
