Description Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos 2014-12-17 13:36:40 UTC

When trying to test an update of a package of mine, I realized that it was impossible to install it with dnf, while yum had no issue installing it.

DNF:

$ sudo dnf install -y crypto-policies-20140905-2.git4649b7d.fc21.noarch.rpm
[sudo] password for nmav: 
Package crypto-policies-20140905-1.git4649b7d.fc21.noarch is already installed, skipping.
Error: Nothing to do.


YUM:

$ sudo yum install -y crypto-policies-20140905-2.git4649b7d.fc21.noarch.rpm

Comment 1 Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos 2014-12-17 15:27:04 UTC

well, it seems that dnf update does the expected thing, even though that behavior is unclear from the man page.

Comment 2 Radek Holy 2014-12-17 16:12:55 UTC

To be precise, this is a duplicate of bug 1138700. Anyway, we need to reconsider the behaviour of the "install" command. And Nikos, feel free to open a bug if the man page does not describe something that it should.
