This is similar to bug 1403465, though this one talks about restoring functionality that YUM previously had, and that bug talked about adding *new* syntax to support this. I suggest that package swap is required when packages conflicts - what about to use `dnf install <args> --allowerasing`. This was the original replacement of swap and shell ind dnf. Due to presence of workarounds I am closing the issue. `dnf install <args> --allowerasing` is great when conflicts exist in the packages. It doesn't help when you need to swap sets of multiple packages which do not conflict, which yum allowed you to do. I understand if the final answer is WONTFIX, but it's still a regression. Is that WONTFIX decision for dnf4 and dnf5, or dnf4 only? |
