Is there any good way to get notified about this sort of problems in
timely manner prior to the update being pushed? This is currently not

I'm not familiar with an existing solution to this problem, but I agree
that it is not optimal.
I had a chat or three with Brian Stinson about some ways we could deal
with problems like this. Today, when we CI packages (i.e., Bodhi
gating), we typically just run the tests associated with the package
being altered. Brian suggested that we could *also* run the tests of
the packages that depend on the package being altered, against the
altered package. This way if a change to something (like pyramid) would
break a dependent package's tests (such as cornice), then the update
for pyramid should get a failed test result on its tests tab. The
problem is that this does increase the load on the test system greatly,
but perhaps we can get enough hardware to make that OK. Not sure.
Having this sort of CI would be awesome, however it looks like it's not on the
top of the TODO list:
RFE: Koschei-like CI (opened 8 months ago)
https://pagure.io/fedora-ci/general/issue/45
RFE: Check if dependent packages install (opened 8 months ago)
https://pagure.io/fedora-ci/general/issue/46
Support automatic execution of tests of dependent components (opened 1 year ago)
https://pagure.io/fedora-ci/general/issue/7
And either way, since CI is opt-in, I would need to go and setup CI for all of
dependencies (including transitive) of all my packages. I haven't really checked
how big is this tree but I suppose it is enormous.
