I simply got rid of dnfdragora. I never used it, didn't need to. In
fact, it often got in the way of when I wanted to do updates. If
dnfdragora was doing its check at the moment I wanted to do a "dnf
update" it would block my command from working.
For what it's worth, I find "dnf" a bad name. ;-) Working with some
sporting competitions, I know "dnf" as meaning "did not finish."
+1 on both points.
"yum" as a name never made a lot of sense to me either (I know it's
derivation), but you could probably say the same for a lot of common
commands and utilities. The UNIX tradition was for command names to be
short and easy to type on a Teletype ASR33, in the days before GUIs.
Hence 'ls', 'ed', 'cd' (originally 'chdir' until that was
considered
too long :-) etc.
