Description Santiago Zarate 2024-04-18 19:58:04 UTC
While trying to install sevctl on a Microos host, I found the following message, while there's nothing awful with it, I'd like to be able to know that during an update/pkg install (attended or unattended) if there are any conflicts.

I'd expect that transactional-update would add the --download-in-advance or mentioned somewhere in the documentation
