We think that the output will be confusing if we change current output.

Well, actually it is really confusing now, because it tells you an outright lie.
It states that there are "broken dependencies" when actually there are none. And this *is* the definition of "confusing".

On the other hand I fail to see how replacing this *false* statement with a factually correct one could generate any confusion.

Please reconsider fixing this. Because a false warning is a nuisance at best and in this case it is even more. A real issue that can make people run around in circles for hours trying to fix an inexistent problem.

NOTE:
I've actually had multiple reports from custromers asking "how to FIX those pesky broken dependecies that just won't go away".

Packages from lower priority repos which are masked/blocked by higher prority repo packages should not be listed at all.

(In reply to Michael Mráka from comment #3)
> Packages from lower priority repos which are masked/blocked by higher
> prority repo packages should not be listed at all.

This would be even better, because it may solve the problem with gnome-software, which sees priority-excluded packages show over and over again and failing to upgrade due to missing dependencies every single time.

We can fix it.

As I understood it, the warning message was introduced for another scenario described in bug #1210445

The only problem is that the same warning now is used for packages skipped for priority-reasons as well, which indeed is misleading - as the dependencies are not broken in this case.

If it's not possible to implement a separate warning-message in case of priority-reasons - what about renaming the warning-message to a) something more general or b) meeting both scenarios:
a) "Skipping packages for dependency reasons:"
b) "Skipping packages with higher priority or broken dependencies:"


What do you think?

This is a misleading situation currently. An improved error message would be the best alternative.

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Seems it's already been fixed:

True, my bad. I didn't check with the latest update of dnf.
Thanks!
