Description Chris Murphy 2014-12-24 04:36:01 UTC 
Description of problem: I have one 3.14.x, two 3.18, and one 3.19 kernels installed. I'd like to install a 3.17 kernel but both dnf install and dnf upgrade fail


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf-0.6.3-2.fc21.noarch
hawkey-0.5.2-1.fc21.i686

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download rpms from koji into a folder
2. dnf install *rpm
3. dnf upgrade *rpm

Actual results:

[root@f21s kernels]# dnf install *rpm
Package kernel-3.14.26-100.fc19.i686 is already installed, skipping.
Package kernel-core-3.18.0-1.fc22.i686 is already installed, skipping.
Package kernel-debug-3.18.1-2.fc22.i686 is already installed, skipping.
Package kernel-debug-core-3.18.1-2.fc22.i686 is already installed, skipping.
Package kernel-debug-modules-3.18.1-2.fc22.i686 is already installed, skipping.
Package kernel-modules-3.18.0-1.fc22.i686 is already installed, skipping.
Error: Nothing to do.
[root@f21s kernels]# dnf upgrade *rpm
Package kernel of higher version already installed, cannot update it.
Package kernel-core of higher version already installed, cannot update it.
Package kernel-debug of higher version already installed, cannot update it.
Package kernel-debug-core of higher version already installed, cannot update it.
Package kernel-debug-modules of higher version already installed, cannot update it.
Package kernel-modules of higher version already installed, cannot update it.
Error: No packages marked for upgrade.


Expected results:

Seems like one of them should work, and it also seems like for kernels there doesn't need to be a distinction between install and upgrade.

Additional info:

Kernels downloaded that I want installed:

Comment 1 Chris Murphy 2014-12-24 05:17:39 UTC 
yum install *rpm works

Comment 3 Radek Holy 2015-01-07 16:02:08 UTC 
Thank you for the report and for a nice example. I also think that we should support "dnf install kernel-X.Y" since kernel is "installonly" and it's intuitive to call "dnf install" then. Even more things like "dnf downgrade kernel-X.Y" do not make sense to me since it actually does not do a downgrade.

Radek, change install to do what you wrote in comment 3, please.

The root cause is the same as in bug 1160950.
