Hello everybody,

Could someone give me an estamate on when the repositories are resolving 
the right dependencies?

I have about +10 systems sending me alerts everyday that 
dnf-automatic.service is failing because of the freeipa dependency 
issues. Since freeipa is one of the security elements I would like to 
give people an estimate on when these issues are resolved?

How can I keep track of the work that is been done as well?

Is there a package tracker to be followed for this? URLs?

Kind regards,

Jelle de Jong
