Description Maxime Carron 2015-06-03 09:54:55 UTC

Description of problem:
When a command is not available on the system, xxx (shell, dnf, ???) offers to install it. If the user agree the package needed is installed, but it isn't logged at all.
- dnf history doesn't list the package installation
- the package installation doesn't appear in /var/log/dnf.log or dnf.rpm.log

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 22 x86_64
dnf 1.0.0-1

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. type a command not available on the system
2. reply "yes"
3. check "dnf history" and /var/log/dnf.log

Actual results:
The new package(s) installed don't appear in the log nor history

Expected results:
dnf history should list the packages installed
dnf log should list the packages installed

Additional info:

Comment 1 Michael Mráka 2015-06-03 11:28:41 UTC

I doubt the package was installed by dnf when there's no evidence of installation in the logs.

Could toy please provide us more detailed reproducer with all output and error messages?

I cant reproduce it on F22:
# command_not_available_on_the_system
-bash: command_not_available_on_the_system: command not found

Comment 2 Radek Holy 2015-06-03 11:34:23 UTC

This is not a DNF feature for sure. And AFAIK, this is not even YUM's feature. I guess that the functionality is provided by PackageKit [1]. Since PackageKit does not use DNF, I believe that it its actions shouldn't be recorded in DNF's history.

Maybe this will be the best place where to store such information: bug 1167239

Comment 4 Maxime Carron 2015-06-17 13:41:34 UTC

Hello,

Indeed, it is due to PackageKitCommandNotFound feature.

I'll add a reference in bug 1167239 to track this issue.

Thank you.

Maxime
