How can I make a dnf install "list of pkgs in a file"?
I tried dnf install `file`
but it does not work.
I usually use a python script to read the file and run dnf in a
subprocess for each package. That way, a single problem doesn't stop
the whole update.
I haven't tried these, so I don't know if they work, but you could try
dnf update < $(cat file)
or
cat file | xargs dnf update
Because I haven't tried them, there may be syntax or grammar errors in
the commands. The first should treat the file as a group, and will be
faster if there are no dependency errors. The second should do each
package individually, so will be slower but error tolerant.
