Having multiple and incompatible versions of Yum in the same software release is bonkers. Forget Dandies and be simply pragmatic. Everyone knows Yum but DNF (something to do with DNS ?) or Dandies or another load of weird ideas from Fedora people desperate to emulate M$ ? DNF = Dandified yum ? and not a single 'Y' in the name.

If RedHat is satisfied with dnf then they will include it and not yum in RHELN. Maybe they will make yum an alias to dnf, who knows. But whatever they do it's much less likely to be bonkers.> Everyone knows Yum but DNF (something to do with DNS ?)Who knew yum before Yellow Dog Linux?> Nein danke. > Nee takk. > Alstublieft niet voor mij, > > Staying with excellent C6 until the end.CentOS 7 is yum based, not dnf. --keith -- kkeller at wombat.san-francisco.ca.us
