No, Q will be not installed. With supplements it is difficult to known when it appears, because that information is not on RPMDB.
While it makes sense technically, this might be quite confusing for packagers.
I've checked the status quo.
Package "reproducer_reversed" starts supplementing package "rpm". "rpm" is installed, but "reproducer_reversed" is not.
- dnf upgarde, no rpm update available: reproducer_reversed is not pulled in
- dnf reinstall rpm: reproducer_reversed is pulled in
- dnf downgrade rpm: reproducer_reversed is pulled in
- dnf upgrade rpm: reproducer_reversed is pulled in
- dnf upgrade, rpm update avilable: reproducer_reversed is pulled in
Would this change proposal actually change the observed behavior? In what way?
I forgot to mention, here is a copr repo with reproducer_reversed: to play with
