Now imagine, after a half an hour, you get this message:
WARNING: problems were encountered during transaction test:
broken dependencies
libvpx-devel-1.2.0-2.fc20.i686 requires libvpx-devel-1.2.0-2.fc20.i686
Continue with the upgrade at your own risk.
More than fifty years of computing and research in IT field, with all sorts of methods, algorithms, object oriented, dynamic, functional and what else languages, and resolver figured THAT out?
