Description Eric Lavarde 2016-02-13 08:29:52 UTC

Description of problem:
When using the dnf-plugin-versionlock in order to avoid upgrade of some packages, the widget ignores those locks and upgrades the packages.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
plasma-pk-updates-0.2-5.fc23.x86_64
python3-dnf-plugins-extras-versionlock-0.0.12-1.fc23.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. downgrade a package (e.g. dnf downgrade keepassx - will reverse from 2.0 to 0.4)
2. lock it (dnf versionlock add keepassx)
3. dnf upgrade
4. wait for the software update to kick in

Actual results:

Software Updates shows an upgrade of keepassx from 0.4 back to 2.0.

There are two issues with this:

1. there is always a notification that I need as user to actively ignore, even if there is no relevant upgrade
2. if there is more than one update, I can't just accept them because else locked packages are upgraded as well.

Expected results:

The widget is aligned with the state of dnf and ignores version-locked packages.

PackageKit doesn't use dnf (or it's plugins), sorry.

The only way of preventing certain packages to update that works in both dnf and PackageKit is to add:

exclude=foo

to .repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d/  (for any .repos you want skipped)
