that's unacceptable and leads in burry *real* problems resulting in sonner
or later security updates are broken and nobody take snotice soon enough
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.
As for security updates well you don't want a random third party repo
to break halt your upgrade transactions due to a broken dep and cause
security updates to not get installed.
