Hello, this is the expected behavior when the dependencies are already installed. yumdownloader --resolve will only download the missing dependencies. You can use an empty installroot to download the package along with all its dependencies: # yumdownloader NAME --resolve --installroot=/path/to/installroot --releasever=/ Um, this strikes me as counterintuitive. It's not called 'yumdownloadIF' after all. If I'm using a tool called 'downloader' I expect it to download stuff. If I only wanted packages that weren't installed, I'd use 'yum' not 'yumdownloader'. I *do* consider the current behaviour a bug. However.. At the very least can we at least document this behaviour in the man page? Add 'yumdownloader WILL NOT download any packages or dependencies that are already in the current installroot. Use the yum option '--installroot' if you wish to download packages and dependencies regardless of their installed status on the current system.' Please? Thanks! |
Description of problem: When attempting to download a package and all its dependencies, which are all installed on the host system, I used yumdownloader --resolve NAME It downloaded *only* the NAME package, and none of the dependencies. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-utils-1.1.31-25.el7_0.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a package that has dependencies. 2. Attempt to use 'yumdownloader --resolve' to get the package RPM and those of its dependencies. Actual results: Only the NAME package is downloaded. Expected results: Multiple RPMs downloaded.
