The current problem is that the suggestion GDB makes will not work anyway due to: dnf debuginfo-install does not accept NVRA https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1208769 I have cancelled the Koji update but apparently it already got distributed into updates-testing. Not sure if it is OK to depend on users doing 'yum distro-sync' (instead of 'yum upgrade') or whether one should really publish new reverted update even if it was distributed by updates-testing only. > Or make it a dependency of gdb: that would be fine too. (Gosh, another great > case for Recommends, if only we were allowed to use Recommends!) Great idea, I forgot about it. I already use it in gdb.spec but I am not aware Recommends should not be used yet. But you are right https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines does not mention 'Recommends'. OTOH it also does not disallow it. It works fine with dnf-0.6.4-2.fc22 (yum-3.4.3-155.fc22 ignores it).
