Hi,
    I have an issue whereby I can't do a    sudo dnf upgrade   to upgrade the versions of Mysql from Oracle's Mysql repository because one of the other repositories has a package upgrade that won't be applied because it has a dependency on a gdm version that as yet doesn't exist, and, dnf appears to not have support for yum's --skip-broken parameter. Does dnf have support for this functionality so that sudo dnf upgrade will upgrade the packages I want to and ignore the packages with dependency issues?

Hi Rahul,
    Thankyou for the link, do you know how up to date that information is? It says that   dnf update   and    dnf upgrade   do the same thing, but there is no    update   parameter on dnf, and, it also says that   dnf upgrade   has the   --skip-broken  functionality built in by default, but it was a   dnf upgrade   that highlighted that dnf doesn't have that functionality.
    Now that I have installed the MySQL packages I wanted (via yum --skip-broken upgrade) I have run dnf upgrade again and this time it has not produced the issue with gdm2setup (yum upgrade still does report the issue), why is dnf not working the same today as it did yesterday?

regards,
Steve
