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
