Total download size: 162 M Is this ok [y/N]:
The odd thing is that none of the "problematic" packages -- gnupg2-smime, libguestfs-xfs, pinentry -- are installed.
I have install_weak_deps=false in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf, so it shouldn't be trying to install weak dependencies.
Anyone know what the heck DNF is trying to do?
