Hi,

In fedora 32, an update is available for the libdav1d package. Because
other packages depend on the older version, the newer version can't be
installed. This causes a conflict when doing dnf upgrade. Because of
this, the Qubes Updater symbol (orange sun) keeps showing, which is
annoying. The --best and --allowerasing options do not solve this.

I'm aware that it is technically correct that the symbol keeps showing,
and that I could just wait until the dependencies get updated (which
might be a long time away). But does anyone have a more satisfying
solution for this? To my mind this could be either:

- solving the dependency problem (yes, technically a fedora problem)
- not showing the symbol for conclicted packages

dependency hell, as usual with fedora, if you start to install packages from outside.
