My understanding is that --best can erase stuff (outside of obsoletes) and I don't want to do that in scripts. afaik, --best don't erase stuff, you need --allowerasing for that --best Try the best available package versions in transactions. Specifically during dnf upgrade, which by default skips over updates that can not be installed for dependency reasons, the switch forces DNF to only consider the latest packages and possibly fail giving a reason why the latest version can not be installed.
Pardon, folks - But haven't we been told dnf was supposed to be yum compatible?
I have to admit, I can't deny finding this kind of discussion to be very discurbing. They confirm my gut feelings about dnf is being not ready prime time and all recent decisions to make it default in mock and yum to be premature.
