I just installed Fedora Workstation 41 and having issues understanding the output when trying to install dnf-automatic. Is this expected or a bug?

$ sudo dnf install dnf-automatic

Total size of inbound packages is 41 KiB. Need to download 41 KiB.
After this operation, 77 KiB extra will be used (install 77 KiB, remove 0 B).
Is this ok [y/N]:

Thank you for the sanity check. I reported this on bugzilla: 2322918 – Installing dnf-automatic: Skipping packages with conflicts (libcurl) and with broken dependencies (dnf5-plugin-automatic)

Here is the (temporary) fix:

# dnf swap libcurl-minimal libcurl

See the Bugzilla and the related Discourse for more info.
