Dom0 Update failed.

[Drew White]

Hi folks..

Tried to do an update on Dom0, but it's failing, and I'm not getting the information I need to be able to resolve the issue.

Any help would be much appreciated.

It's simple. You selected arbitrary subset of update, apparently
excluding packages required by those you've selected.

It checked dependencies, it found there were none required. If they were required, it would have gotten the dependencies for the packages I requested to install. That is how it works because I didn't tell it to NOT get the dependencies.

If you look at the versions, it said I already have version 10 installed, so it skipped it. Why did it skip subversion 10 and not install 12 when it's supposed to update and do subversion 12?

Try adding --action=update. By default if you pass list of packages, the
action is "install" and AFAIR dnf does not consider update in such a
case...
