get this fixed, but in the meantime - and this is in fact our standard
advice anyway, but it bears repeating - DON'T RUN 'dnf update' INSIDE
A DESKTOP.
I think I can confirm this advice. I always run dnf manually from the
command line, in a VT logged in as root. And I can run X while doing
this and I've never had a dnf update issue. I don't use the
graphical update tools, and always have PackageKit disabled to prevent
duplicate downloads of updates.
