What actually do you want? I'm really interested in what users expect when they use "installonly" packages in any command except "install" and "remove". I strongly believe that there is a group of users that expect that "downgrade kernel" simply installs an older version of kernel while at the same time there is a group of users that expect also the removal of the current or the latest kernel. BTW, if you want just to revert the last operation, I'd suggest "history undo last". -- Radek Holý Associate Software Engineer Software Management Team Red Hat Czech -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
