--- Comment #12 from Adam Williamson <[email protected]> --- Hadn't noticed that bug, that is annoying. IIRC, though, it always used to work that way, and querying by provides as well as literal name is a fairly recent feature, so I always used to hack up a little bash something like this: for i in `dnf repoquery --provides foo`; do echo "PROVIDES $i"; dnf repoquery --whatrequires "$i"; done untested and it probably has a mistake in it somewhere, but you get the idea anyway :) BTW, there's I think one more reason to have the Provides: to ensure the package actually gets installed on upgrade. I haven't checked to be sure, but IIRC if 'new-foo' only Obsoletes 'old-foo' but doesn't Provides it, when you do an upgrade, it's not actually guaranteed that 'new-foo' will be installed to replace 'old-foo', it'll only happen if 'new-foo' is pulled into the transaction for some other reason. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
