Hi,
I have an issue whereby I can't do a sudo dnf upgrade to
upgrade the versions of Mysql from Oracle's Mysql repository
because one of the other repositories has a package upgrade that
won't be applied because it has a dependency on a gdm version that
as yet doesn't exist, and, dnf appears to not have support for
yum's --skip-broken parameter. Does dnf have support for this
functionality so that sudo dnf upgrade will upgrade the packages I
want to and ignore the packages with dependency issues?

Hi Rahul,
Thankyou for the link, do you know how up to date that information
is? It says that dnf update and dnf upgrade do the same thing,
but there is no update parameter on dnf, and, it also says that
dnf upgrade has the --skip-broken functionality built in by default,
but it was a dnf upgrade that highlighted that dnf doesn't have that
functionality.
Now that I have installed the MySQL packages I wanted (via yum
--skip-broken upgrade) I have run dnf upgrade again and this time it has
not produced the issue with gdm2setup (yum upgrade still does report the
issue), why is dnf not working the same today as it did yesterday?
regards,
Steve
