Description Christian Stadelmann 2015-03-19 13:50:08 UTC

Description of problem:
running 
$ dnf provides /usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/xkb
(or any other file below /usr/lib/kbd/) doesn't give the package providing this file.

running
$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/xkb
works fine and gives 
kbd-misc-2.0.2-3.fc21.noarch

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf 0:0.6.4-1.fc21

Comment 1 Radek Holy 2015-03-19 14:39:07 UTC

Hello, please note that there is no package that explicitly provides /usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/xkb. "kbd-misc-0:2.0.2-3.fc21.noarch" explicitly only provides "/lib/kbd/keymaps/xkb". See also http://dnf.readthedocs.org/en/latest/cli_vs_yum.html#dnf-provides-bin-file-does-not-find-any-packages-on-fedora.

Comment 2 Christian Stadelmann 2015-03-20 14:26:33 UTC

Ok, while
$ dnf provides /usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/xkb
doesn't work, 
$ dnf provides /lib/kbd/keymaps/xkb
does. Just in case anyone runs into the same problem.

And if I understand this correct on the long run kbd-misc should generate files to install in /usr/lib/kbd/… instead of /lib/kbd/…, am I right?

Christian, please take a look at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Effect_of_the_UsrMove_Fedora_Feature .
