Is this normal functionality or is it a Beta testing issue?Stephen,what would you say a difference between 'updating' and 'removing and insatlling new version' is? What is the benefit of the latter in your specific case?
Hi Ales,I'm not saying there is any benefit of one over the other, all I am saying is that the package manager I currently use seems to be using the latter method when upgrades to the kmod.nvidia packages are required. What I am querying is that with the last update I did a couple of days ago the package manager said that there were 2 other packages that needed to be removed for the updates to happen as well as the removal of the package being updated and mentioned that the new version was going to be installed rather than updated, but when I tried DNF it mentioned that it was going to update the kmod.nvidia package and mentioned nothing about the 2 additional packages being removed. Hence looking at the summary stats from both packages DNF said there was 1 more update and 1 less install than what the package manager I normally use said, plus the package manager I normally use also said there were 2 packages to remove whereas DNF said there were none.
regards, Steve
