Description Timur Kristóf 2014-11-30 22:57:26 UTC

Description of problem:
When supplying the command-line argument '--exclude' or '-x' to dnf install, dnf displays an error message instead of installing the matching packages and excluding the specified packages.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf-0.6.1-1.fc21.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a root console
2. Type 'dnf install libreport-*.x86_64 -x *-devel'

Actual results:
dnf displays a "not installable" error message. See below for the pastebin of the exact output.

Expected results:
dnf should install every package that matches "libreport-*.x86_64" except those that match "*-devel"

Additional info:
The same command works as expected with yum.
Output of dnf: http://pastebin.com/m3i2HU4n
Output of yum: http://pastebin.com/vazFCv5G

Comment 1 Honza Silhan 2014-12-01 16:13:09 UTC

Thanks for the report. DNF tries to select only one package that best matches the pattern. In DNF it works if you set multilib_policy to all: `dnf install libreport-*.x86_64 -x *-devel --setopt=multilib_policy=all`. We should change that to search them all. It should first get all package names and then choose right architecture for each. I will fix it.

Hi Jan, thanks for your answer! Let me know when I can take a look at your fix. :)

Comment 3 Honza Silhan 2014-12-09 16:24:41 UTC

We should add new function to DNF - get_best_selectors, which  would return list of selectors. The list will have more than one value only if package description pattern has `*` inside package name.

Michael, take a look, please.
