Second, I'd like to suggest that in the future, at least in Fedora,
for any "install" or "update" operation that dnf performs, dnf's
default behavior should be checking all of the direct and indirect
dependencies of the packages being installed (or updated) and updating
any dependencies which have updates available.
Does anyone else have any opinions on the subject? Should I simply
file a bug against dnf proposing this behavior?
If there is a problem with not uodating dependencies when you do an install
or an update on selected packages, the packages dependencies are not
properly defined.
I think the case where you don't want to keep the full system up to date,
but a selective update or install causes problems as well is pretty rare.
I think it might be reasonable to have an option that requests doing
a recursive update. I would consider this to be a low priority feature
request that has to compete with all of the other work being done on
dnf, rather than a bug. I don't work on dnf and the people that do might
feel differently.
