And I'd like a pony. There are cases where an "update" also obsoletes several formerly separate packages, and those provided dependencies for other critical systems. You have to do a forced removal, then a re-installation of the old packages, and the upgrade may also have migrated configuration files to a location the old package has no clue about. This is a case where an admin simply has to pay attention to what is happening. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
