Polymake blocks system updates by strict Perl dependence:
polymake-3.0r2-1.fc25.x86_64 requires perl = 4:5.24.0
and the new perl package is tagged 4:5.24.1
This blocks upgrades for dependent packages (perl*, git*, vim*), while
polymake can't just be bypassed because it is a dependency of quite a
bit of other packages (python*, gap*, sage*, ocaml*), so it's a stalemate.
You mean something like debian's piuparts?
I think Debian deals with this as part of the unstable → testing
migration checks. The new perl version would not migrate to testing
until packages like polymake would be rebuilt or removed from testing
(or some manual override installed).
Thanks,
