Save everybody some surprises in Fedora 22!

[Stephen Morris]

Hi,
     I had a look at dnf yesterday for the first time, I didn't know it 
existed until this thread. I have a query with its functionality that 
I'm not sure is an issue or whether its just the package manager I 
normally use that is being user friendly or doing things differently.
     I have the akmod.nvidia and kmod.nvidia proprietary drivers 
installed and when they are updated, the package manager I use tells me 
about the packages that have to be uninstalled in order to do the update 
(this package manager seems to uninstall to old kmod package and 
installs the new one rather than update as such), but when I look at 
what dnf would do if I used that, it just tells me it is going to update 
the kmod driver and mentions nothing about the peripheral packages that 
will be removed.
     Is this normal functionality or is it a Beta testing issue?

regards,
Steve
