The example on the dnf vs. yum page, "There is no equivalent for yum --skip-broken update foo, as silently skipping foo in this case only amounts to masking an error contradicting the user request." is missing the point of the --skip-broken switch, in my opinion. Or will dnf install all updates except the one that is broken (in my use case)? (I have not tested dnf that much to have experienced this myself)
