It removes packages that are not needed because the package was not installed explicitly and it's not a transitive dependency of such explicitly installed package. So either it's a bug in dependency specification, or the user should mark the package as explicitly wanted. Frankly if someone do a mass upgrade, he should expect some changes. A contraexemple: A package splits into more subpackages. Suddenly packages needing a moved file and requiring a package name instead of a file name will stop work. Are we going to fight against splitting packages? (Better distributions have system of notifications that allows to warn a user before the upgrade that something important is going to change.) -- Petr -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
