And once in awhile a packager fumbles Obsoletes/Provides for a package, and then some really surprising results can come out of the depsolver, as a web search for "Protected multilib versions" will show. How about a compromise solution: a plugin, enabled by default, that protects a few key components (kernel, systemd, rpm), and nothing to prevent that plugin from being removed (i.e., no direct dependencies on the plugin)? That, it seems to me, would satisfy most of the participants in this thread. -- Jerry James http://www.jamezone.org/ -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
