My point was that people who are used type "yum > install pkg" instead of "yum upgrade pkg" (even when they want to upgrade an > already installed package) wouldn't consider it a bug. OK, we have just decided that DNF will stay with it's current behaviour which means that "dnf install homebank" wouldn't upgrade any already installed homebank version (unless --best switch is used). In that case, the problem that you have described might be considered a bug and thus we'll appreciate if you file a Bugzilla.
