I have never allowed an automated update to any of my systems, I run
yum manually.

In fact, on my Win.. machines I find that packages often want
to install some "latest version" of a graphics display package.
I have returned software on that basis, telling the clerk
and sometimes the store manager that I bought a piece of software
to do X, and it wants me also to install software to do Y.

On other occasions, I have "snapshotted" my machine, installed,
run, and then reverted to the "snapshot".

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
