Using a two stage system: 1. take a one step back version of Fedora Rawhide and add the new dnf; then run a few tests such as "dnf check-update --refresh" and "dnf upgrade". 2. take a current version of Fedora Rawhide and add the new dnf; then run the same set of tests. This should ensure dnf dependencies are correct and that "dnf upgrade" never causes a seg fault. I would have thought the dnf people would have been doing this sort of system testing given just how important dnf is to Fedora Rawhide. To have people (it's not just me) in a situation of not being able to amend their system with dnf should I feel cause deep embarrassment to the dnf people despite the caveat emptor nature of Fedora Rawhide. -- Russel. =========================================== Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk
