Description Nicolas Lécureuil 2021-02-21 17:25:37 CET

mageia-prime force to use dnf. 
As urpmi is our default packagemanager this is, for me, not acceptable.

It should be working with urpmi too  (and use it by default )

Comment 1 Nicolas Lécureuil 2021-02-21 17:26:43 CET

in fact reading the code it can use urpmi but we should use this by default

I think it really uses urpmi by default as there is a CLI option to use dnf instead (-d).

So, this not a bug in app itself, rather in the RPM spec file that require it instead of recommend?

Assigning to Guiseppe.

Comment 3 Giuseppe Ghibò 2021-02-21 20:01:41 CET

It's like Aurelien said. It uses urpmi by defaut. dnf requires is needed for getting the "full optional", i.e. with the "-d" option, where it uses dnf instead of "urpmi".

Comment 4 Nicolas Lécureuil 2021-02-21 20:25:27 CET

Ok, I understand better.


Then maybe add dnf as Recommends, because if someone does not want dnf it can't use mageia-prime, and using recomments allow someone that wants dnf to use mageia-prime, this is a win/win :-)

updated a version 0.4-13.mga8 with "Recommends" instead of "Requires" in nonfree/updates_testing.
