There's a footnote explaining that already: "Appropriate means that the relevant update mechanism(s) for any given deployment must apply the correct updates to the correct components, and not apply incorrect updates. To give a specific example of why this wording is included, there was previously a case where newer package versions from modules were being installed as 'updates' to systems which did not have those modules installed, only the package with the same name from the non-modular system repositories. This would be an example of 'inappropriate' updating that violated this criterion." as explained there, we actually *specifically* added this wording because there was a bug with packages from modules being selected as updates when the modules they were from weren't installed, and we felt it was best to have the criterion explicitly cover this kind of situation. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/CKNCIRWFMPFKJLHLMDLOWZ2H2PCPJ32P/
