Description Ben Greear 2015-08-15 18:35:42 UTC

Description of problem:

I have a large list of rpm packages that I need to install on various
Fedora (and other RPM based OSs). Some do require packages that others do not even support. So, I could use yum instal [big-list-of-packages] --skip-broken
and it would just ignore the packages that were not available.

I cannot find any way to do this with dnf. This means that I will have
to create a custom list for every possible OS that uses dnf.

Please add an option to allow dnf to ignore packages it cannot find.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

dnf install pciutils-devel libidn-devel openldap-devel autoconf automake libtool flex bison db4-devel openssl-devel libssh2-devel libpcap-devel tcp_wrappers-devel libevent-devel libblkid-devel libgssglue-devel libtirpc-devel libnfsidmap-devel libnl-devel ncurses-devel pcsc-lite-devel gnutls-devel libgssglue-devel lksctp-tools lksctp-tools-devel maven maven2 gcc-c++ nfs-utils make libcap-devel autogen libnet-devel device-mapper-devel sqlite-devel m2crypto libgcrypt-devel libnl-devel libxml2-devel webkitgtk3-devel libnl3-devel pcre-devel readline-devel glibc-static glibc-utils pciutils-devel-static

Actual results:

Fails because libgssglue-devel is not available in Fedora 22. It is required
for my application on old Fedora/Centos/Redhat OS versions though.

Expected results:

dnf should install what it can, warn about those it cannot.
