That is, it works but it takes an unreasonably long time to do so. How
can it be that, DNF knows the package is already installed and /still/
takes such a long time to decide that dependencies are ok? There aren't
any dependencies to resolve!
I can't replicate this:
$ time sudo dnf install firefox
Last metadata expiration check: 2:03:34 ago on Tue Mar 29 12:59:50 2016.
Package firefox-45.0.1-2.fc23.x86_64 is already installed, skipping.
