Dear Experts,
I've a Fedora 23 installed on my laptop and I keep it updated (even if
I'm not going through the upgrade process yet).
Yesteday when I checked which packages need to be updated, dnf proposed
me to install this packages:
Installing:
yum noarch 3.4.3-507.fc23 fedora 1.2 M
yum-metadata-parser x86_64 1.1.4-15.fc23 fedora 39 k
yum-utils noarch 1.1.31-508.fc23 updates 117 k
This sounds weird, as far as I know, dnf completely replaced yum so why
I need to install it? Is this generating some conflicts with dnf or
breaking something on my fedora?
It looks like something that is being updated is pulling in the yum
package as a dependency. As Tom mentioned, you can find out by trying
to remove yum, or even better, by running "dnf repoquery --installed
--whatrequires yum".
