Even though the tests may not have caught this problem it does seem a

Maybe it would be a good move for the dnf team to reflect on this
recent episode and see if there are some tests that can be put in place
to try and avoid a recurrence. There may not be, but it would be good
if there were.

Very true. I perhaps got a wee bit over aggressive in phrasing. Also
Rawhide users are effectively the user QA team so must expect the
occasional cock up. Just now I cannot get a graphical login, only
terminal ones, but this sort of thing is to be expected from time to
time. dnf though holds a special place and so there is justification
for much more emphasis on workingness before being released to the
repository.
