Or is it necessary to download metadata for checking if a RPM package exists? could we check it w/ remote ostree repo? I don't believe it is possible to determine if a package does not exsit without querying the repo and downloading the metadata. It is similar to using yum/dnf where there has to be some metadata in place before you can determine if the package exists. Based on Micah's comments setting as NOTABUG. |
Description of problem: When we use rpm-ostree pkg-add a non-exists RPM package, the rpm-ostree will download metadata firstly, it will take several minutes, and then user got a expected result "error: No package 'XXX' found", we should change the logic design of pkg-add packages and check if the RPM package exists firstly.
