Thanks for the responses.
This was the only way I could think of to recover from the dnf problem which, as far as I
can tell, still exists.
Does anyone know how to unscrew dnf?
Thanks again for the responses,
George...

Thats yum not having the ability to handle rich deps.
It's very unlikely that anyone wants to implement rich deps handing
in
yum at this point, so I don't think this is likely to ever be fixed.
It's probably not a huge problem to get yum to just ignore them, if
someone wanted, but my understanding was that yum wouldn't be in F29
anyway.
