That said, I'm aware coreutils-single provides coreutils (and it should probably provide all the /bin/* tools as well) and I'm not sure which one the depsolver would choose if you simply install "coreutils". I don't have an advice here; I just know the current implementation is wrong :) Confirmed. I can reproduce the issue with dnf-2.3.0-1.fc27. Even though Igor calls it a bug fix, it is at least a backward incompatible change to dnf, which should be avoided. I am not against dropping the Obsoletes tag from coreutils but please consider also the compatibility aspect of the dnf change that is causing it. I am pretty sure that coreutils is not the only package affected by the change (and not all affected packages are under our control). Kamil: What if we were to rename the other coreutils package to `coreutils-standard` and have them both `Provides: coreutils` (for compatibility with things that `Require: coreutils` and then we can add `Suggests: coreutils-standard` to the fedora-release package, which will trigger DNF to prefer coreutils-standard if neither of them is currently on the system, but otherwise leave it alone. coreutils-8.27-3.fc26 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 26. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-db1b943779 (In reply to Stephen Gallagher from comment #3) > Kamil: What if we were to rename the other coreutils package to > `coreutils-standard` [...] Sounds like a bad idea to me. We should not rename such fundamental packages to work around limitations of the package manager. Both the packages provide "coreutils = %{version}-%{release}" already. If there is no way to tell the package manager to require a package _named_ coreutils, we can introduce an additional Provides for the "full" package that can be used for bootstrapping. coreutils-8.27-3.fc26 has been pushed to the Fedora 26 testing repository.
