Hi there,
Just wanting to run an update although skip some packages.
Would this command be the best way to skip individual packages (i.e Skype)
dnf upgrade -x skypeforlinux
yes, though it may have certain other dependencies that would also have to be skipped in order to remain functional. Try it and see what happens.
Yes it worked lucky guess I had
What other dependencies would be skipped, only for skype your saying:
Also i love the way the rpm package manager sorts the installation updates alphabetised…its neat

Is this ok [Y/n]:
Those both appear perfectly normal for the way dnf functions.
Skype is coming from a 3rd party repo so it may at times cause problems as well.
yes it is problematic, though the bugs are finally ironed out it seems, hence why I want to stop updates… why do third party repos cause issues, its not the official Skype for Linux I’m using?
Problems sometimes occur when there are dependencies that conflict. Many times there are no issues, but it can and has occurred. Then the user has to identify the problem and resolve the conflicts.
