Bug 1055132

You probably don't use the right name of the repo? Last time I checked, the repo was just called fedora (cat /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo). Please check and reopen if you confirm you are using the correct repo name.

You are right; specifying "fedora" as the repoid works.  Thank you.  And I see that the documentation for the repo files says that the repoid is specified in brackets at the top of each repository's section.

But this means there's a bug in "yum repolist".  The first column of the output is documented as being the repoid (possibly starting with a special character).  Therefore "yum repolist" should have produced "fedora", not "fedora/20/i386".

Another bug: The output from "yum repo-pkgs <repoid> list" is incomplete.  Here's an example:

# yum list bash
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Installed Packages
bash.i686                        4.2.45-4.fc20                         installed
# yum repo-pkgs fedora list all | grep ^bash
bash-completion.noarch                   1:2.1-3.fc20                     fedora
bash-doc.i686                            4.2.45-4.fc20                    fedora
bashdb.noarch                            4.2_0.8-3.fc20                   fedora

I checked a mirror of the Fedora 20/i686 Everything repository; it really does include bash-4.2.45-4.fc20.i686.rpm.  It looks like the output omits packages that are currently installed, even with the "all" specifier.

Just tried that on Fedora 19 and I didn't encounter any problems, yum listed both installed and available packages, bash included. The only way I can think of this might happen is when you install your bash for example from Fedora DVD and thus yum doesn't know that the installed package comes from Fedora repo. See the difference, this is your listing of the bash package:

bash.i686                        4.2.45-4.fc20                         installed

and this is mine (notice the @fedora at the end of the line):

bash.x86_64                              4.2.45-1.fc19                   @fedora

It's also possible that the difference was caused by the fact that we are running different versions of Fedora.

My copy of the bash package was installed by fedup.  Nevertheless, the system does seem to know where it came from.  I'm using a different computer now, but the results are the same:

# yum repo-pkgs fedora list all | grep ^bash
bash-completion.noarch                   1:2.1-3.fc20                     fedora
bash-doc.i686                            4.2.45-4.fc20                    fedora
bashdb.noarch                            4.2_0.8-3.fc20                   fedora
# find-repos-of-install --repoid=fedora bash
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
bash-4.2.45-4.fc20.i686 from repo fedora

Ok, that seems like a regular bug, reopening and assigning to James for further evaluation.

Fixed this (repoid bug) upstream already: http://yum.baseurl.org/gitweb?p=yum.git;a=commitdiff;h=6aa247420.
