So I had someone come in on the EPEL list today asking why dnf in EPEL
wasn't working. The problem is that dnf relies on a libsolv which is
newer than the one that is provided by the base OS. This means that we
can't approve libsolv in epel-testing (and should not have approved dnf
to go into EPEL proper either).
I am going to bring this up with the EPEL steering committee and see if
we can come up with a process to let this in somehow. I also need to
make sure we have better tooling in place so we aren't allowing stuff
which replaces base packages.
