Yumex issue, systematic failure for update, searching dependencies error
Hello, I use to update every days with Fedora yum from the beginning of the world, I installed F22 on 26 of may, everything was perfect. Since 07 of June 2015 update fails regularly with Yumex F22 with the message (translate from French => " Error in dependencies search"...). I discover some misfits, but maybe some misinterpretation on my side :
I tried :
sudo dnf clean metadata
sudo dnf update
But no progress It fails always When I read journalctl Insert not installed package in list-update Examples => From journalctl last lines :
Package git-core not installed, cannot update it.
Package python-osbs not installed, cannot update it.
Package python-networkx-core not installed, cannot update it.
python-ipaddress not installed, cannot update it.
python-idna not installed, cannot update it.
Package plasma-desktop-doc not installed, cannot update it.
perl-open not installed, cannot update it.
Package perl-encoding not installed, cannot update it.
Package kf5-modemmanager-qt not installed, cannot update it.
I deselect these packages before running UPDATE with Yumex Now the search for dependencies is correct, but In the list provided after dependencies resolution, I have in the "To install category" the packages I previously deselected => Is that a bug ?
Nevertheless I start the update process, it begins correctly ... after a while .... a screen splash with a download error message and the list of the done downloaded packages and the process stops. On jourrnalctl no message about failure.. Something goes wrong, maybe Yumex
Some hints will be a great help. Thanks

I'm not sure I understand this clearly. You're using DNF - but DNF is a command line client - you don't get splash messages. Can you confirm what you're using please?
Also, is this a fresh install or a system that was upgraded from F21 or a previous Fedora version?
Yes I use DNF with its GUI improperly named Yum extender on F22. I Fedup from F21 to F22. This install is working since the 26 of May. In fact the splash is not a problem. The problem starts IMHO with the presence or Update packages for not installed packages in the update list provided by the YUM/DNF Extender after launching. Thanks for yout follow up!
YUM extender is a front-end, it isn't the same thing as DNF. Since you used fedup, did you run a
distro-syncto clean up older packages from your system? I recommend:see if that helps.
That Yumex is now the front-end of dnf on F22 instead of yum previously I understand that perfectly. I run
Then with Yumex-dnf I've the same result as indicated in my first post with proposal for update of not installed Packages with conflict about dependencies.
With the dnf command line => dnf check-update provides the same list, with releases for not installed packagres and
fails with dependencies error
Hello, About the the title, of this thread, which has been changed, IMHO it is not a YUMEX issue but a DNF issue [ Presence in the update list of not installed packages for upgrade], this issue is visible with the DNF command line and through the YUMEX GUI which is the front-end of DNF. If not right, let me know please Thanks for your follow up
