Downgrades are supported via `dnf distro-sync --allowerasing` (allowerasing is necessary sometimes when packages get dropped from Factory).
Be careful with allowerasing, it can completly wreck your system.
The difference between dnf and libzypp is actually the "keeporphans" option: dnf sets it to true telling libsolv that it must keep all orphaned packages (packages that are not backed by a repository) installed.
Yes, so if you want to remove orphans, you can use "dnf autoremove". Note that this relies on the DNF history database, so I don't think it'd do anything if you don't have much in there. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
