Doesn't that race condition already exist? If the current situation is that there are multiple files that must match each other, then it's already possible for the download to fail because a file was replaced between two HTTP requests. I know of no way to atomically download multiple files over HTTP. Thus it seems to me that DNF must handle this situation regardless of whether lazy loading gets implemented or not. Björn Persson
