Description Hans de Goede 2014-07-21 09:03:25 UTC 
When running dnf update --best (or set best=true in dnf.conf) I get the following on a fully up2date F-21:

Let me know what I can do to collect more debug-info for you.
Comment 1 Honza Silhan 2014-07-21 17:12:50 UTC 
Hi, thanks for the report. I can't see any error reproducing in f21 docker image. The message is unknown error from libsolv. Can you attach debugdata (http://dnf.baseurl.org/2013/11/25/reporting-depsolving-bugs/), please?

Comment 3 Michael Schröder 2014-07-30 09:53:18 UTC 
The bad error message is already fixed in current libsolv (the one that includes the "yum obsoletes" code).

The error itself comes from conflicting jobs: the "update --best" conflicts with  the locks for the openssl* packages. If you switch over to the pool->considered
mechanism for package excludes, the error will also be gone.

Ah yes, that makes sense.

I guess that is something which needs to be changed in the dnf code, or is it a config / repo setting ?
Comment 5 Michael Schröder 2014-07-30 11:08:31 UTC 
Yes, it'll be a change in dnf & hawkey. See bug #1099342.
Comment 6 Honza Silhan 2014-07-30 12:47:53 UTC 
Thanks for the libsolv fix and info, Michael.
