From: "Miroslav Suchý" <msuchy@xxxxxxxxxx> From: "Reindl Harald" <h.reindl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> the software upgrade just have to mention the conflicting packages and stop until somebody enables a --force switch and in general DNF has to be much more verbose in case of dependency problems instead just saying "can't do anything because broken deps"dnf has `--allowerasing switch - it will resolve the conflicts by uninstallation of conflicting packages. Installing the packages regardless the dependencies by `--force` is really dangerous and will not be supported by DNF.
removing random packages is also really dangerous and *not* acceptablefrankly if there are problems and i need a hammer then i need a hammer in case i know what i am doing - i have solved yum distrupgrade troubles hundrets of times by "rpm -e --nodeps" for packages where i am 100% sure that they are not system critical and guess what - after that the deps where solved and even the correct dependencies installed without any cleanup needed after the upgrade
currently we have some sort of blackbox with no output how to solve dependency problemsIt outputs the last package conflict found by depsolver. The improvement is on the agenda [1]. [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1148627
hopefully because https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1148627#c27 is the truth until now
