There aren't any dependencies to resolve! This happens to me every time. It seems to be when it is creating the completion cache that it spends all the time. It never used to happen, but I got install happy and installed the dnf-plugins-extras package. :-) Now from the end of the RPM transaction: to the program exit takes up to several minutes to complete. Or maybe it is the rpmconf checks. And I have lots of packages installed, so that could be a contributing factor, as well. Nothing I do seems to change this delay. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
