Yumex-DNF is no longer under active development and so it has been replaced in Fedora 27 by https://github.com/manatools/dnfdragora[dnfdragora]. dnfdragora is a new DNF frontend that is written in Python 3 and uses https://github.com/libyui/libyui[libYui], the widget abstraction library written by SUSE, so that it can be run using Qt 5, GTK+ 3, or ncurses interfaces.
