I see that dnf has sprung apt-style configuration file messages:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
$ sudo dnf install mingw32-srvany
Using metadata from Mon Apr 13 13:56:00 2015 (1:43:07 hours old)
Package mingw32-srvany-1.0-15.20150115gitfd659e77.fc23.noarch is already installed, skipping.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Configuration file '/etc/pam.d/fingerprint-auth'
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 19 Feb 21 2012 /etc/pam.d/fingerprint-auth -> fingerprint-auth-ac
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 701 May 9 2012 /etc/pam.d/fingerprint-auth.rpmnew
==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
M : merge configuration files
Z : background this process to examine the situation
S : skip this file
The default action is to keep your current version.
*** aliases (Y/I/N/O/D/M/Z/S) [default=N] ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In fact I _didn't_ change that file, so the message is wrong.
I suspect we'll end up with Debian interactive installs, which as a
Debian user I find to be a regression.
- 'dnf -y install' doesn't suppress the message.
- In fact you cannot even kill it with ^C. You have to killall -9 dnf.
This happens on dozens of file now, every time I use dnf. Make it go
away!
Rich.
