The bug is elsewhere though ... i.e. that is even possible to push
updates with broken deps.
Rawhide is a different story but everything that goes through bodhi
(stable releases and branched) should simply refuse pushes with
broken
deps.
This is easier said than done. We don't have a perfect dependency
checker and it's not at all easy to write one. tflink and John Dulaney
have more details if you're interested, but yes, this is not a trivial
thing we can just wave a wand and make happen.
