Yep, that makes dnf undo or rollback useless but dnf devs think missing
packages is not their problem in spite of the fact that it is a requirement
for dnf rollback or undo to work. I don't know how that logic works for them.
Having just moved to Fedora from OpenSUSE three weeks ago, I would
be
curious to know what normally happens in scenarios like these? Is this
likely to be fixed in an imminent update or are we isolated cases and on
our own?
I have been as conservative as possible on this system. It's pretty sad and
frustrating that Fedora has to break regularly. A few weeks ago CopyQ and
ownCloud started crashing until that kf5-filesystemblahblah package was fixed.
Now this had to happen.
I am seriously losing faith in distros that promote the latest and greatest
software philosophy.
