The bug is elsewhere though ... i.e. that is even possible to push
updates with broken deps.
Rawhide is a different story but everything that goes through bodhi
(stable releases and branched) should simply refuse pushes with broken
deps.

As for security updates well you don't want a random third party repo
to break halt your upgrade transactions due to a broken dep and cause
security updates to not get installed.
