 Bonjour,

 I wanted to upgrade a machine today and run dnf upgrade...

 Amongst the packages, I could see a full install of texlive which is not  
 installed....

 So, I asked:

  rpm -q --whatrequires texlive

 answer: aucun paquet ne requiert texlive (no package requires texlive)....

 I thought that, maybe, it was not a full install of texlive and asked,  
 randomly choosing a package that this upgrade wanted to install:

 rpm -q --whatrequires texlive-polyglossia

 answer: aucun paquet ne requiert texlive (no package requires texlive)....

 What's wrong? 
Try the --exclude=textlive* option. This should result in a failure of some  
kind, hopefully the error message will indicate what's requiring textlive.

Otherwise, you can take a list of all other packages and try 'dnf upgrade'  
one package at a time, to see which one pulls in the dependency.
