Yum backend is affected, too:
# rpm -qf /usr/bin/yum-deprecated
yum-3.4.3-505.fc22.noarch
# yum-deprecated install blktap-devel
Yum command has been deprecated, use dnf instead.
See 'man dnf' and 'man yum2dnf' for more information.

Followup to devel@ list. It's createrepo (and createrepo_c) that only understand numbers as Epochs due to relying on strtol() as parser. Any non-number, such as an undefined macro or a typo, results in a default Epoch 0 in the repodata. Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
As a followup to my thread on devel@ and test@ list with the subject "Undefined %epoch problem (Re: rawhide report: 20150730 changes)", Yum utils repoclosure has been confirmed as being the culprit, since it is still the tool that mash's spam-o-matic script relies on. (!) Important: There is a fixed "blktap" build in updates-testing, so the problem is only reproducible as long as that fix is not pushed into "updates". In that case, it will be necessary to create a dummy broken package to include an undefined %epoch macro in a dependency again. So, watch this (Fedora 22 x86_64): # repoclosure Yum-utils package has been deprecated, use dnf instead. See 'man yum2dnf' for more information. Reading in repository metadata - please wait....

You probably have corrupted RPMDB, running 'rpm --rebuilddb' might fix the issue. The downloaded packages were saved in cache till the next successful transaction. You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean packages'
