Description Ben Boeckel 2015-02-23 04:42:51 UTC 
Description of problem:
When there is a broken dependency which breaks the upgrade of a package, zero indication is given. Example:

# dnf info libass.x86_64

I have 0.10.1 installed and 0.12.0 is available. However:

# dnf upgrade libass
Using metadata from Sun Feb 22 22:02:14 2015
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.

Using dnf-0.6.4-1.fc22.noarch and no amount of "-v" gets me useful information for tracking down what needs to be fixed.
Comment 1 bryant 2015-02-23 17:25:40 UTC 
Can you try yum and see if it gives any helpful debugging info? If so, maybe that would be a nice template for adding more debugging info to dnf?
Comment 2 Ben Boeckel 2015-02-24 02:23:52 UTC 
Related to Bug #1183120 as well.

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
Comment 3 Ben Boeckel 2015-02-24 02:53:15 UTC 
So going down this rabbithole, it seems that No Frozen Rawhide is too fast for RPMFusion. By the time they get Fn spun up, Rawhide is Fn+1 and the --releasever is wrong. By going from --releasever=20 up to --releasever=21, things seem to be better.
Comment 4 Honza Silhan 2015-03-09 13:58:58 UTC 
Thanks for the report. This will be fixed with error/solution messages improvement.
Comment 5 Christopher Beland 2015-06-10 16:52:59 UTC 
Setting version to 22 since I think the vintage of Rawhide that this bug was reported against is now Fedora 22.  Feel free to change if this is incorrect or confusing.
Comment 6 Honza Silhan 2015-07-10 15:25:13 UTC 
This is basically dup of bug 1148627. Both reports wants debugging information about processing packages in some order and show the unsatisfied dependency.
