Looks like, without explicit action, dnf will never work again as a way
of upgrading packages: after each check-update, there is still nothing
to upgrade, which after 24 hours is unheard of!

Given the cavalier way dnf is updated to breaking point, yum-deprecated
should be an integral part of the toolkit for everyone using Fedora
Rawhide.

I used yum-deprecated to update all the packages dnf didn't realise
needed to be updated. Sadly none of them was dnf.

The bug report claims an update to dnf is in the repository, should it
have been part of the update?
