Description lethalwp 2016-10-27 11:02:23 UTC

Description of problem:

when yum (dnf) is removing the same package of multiple different versions, the output is wrong: it prints like it is removing several time the same package. (luckily he does the right thing.)


Here's a copy of the command + output, 
watch the "Erasing" lines that print three times 'kernel-devel-4.8.1-1.fc25.x86_64':


[root@little lethalwp]# yum remove kernel-devel-4.8.1-1.fc25.x86_64 kernel-devel-4.8.2-300.fc25.x86_64 kernel-devel-4.8.3-300.fc25.x86_64
Redirecting to '/usr/bin/dnf remove kernel-devel-4.8.1-1.fc25.x86_64 kernel-devel-4.8.2-300.fc25.x86_64 kernel-devel-4.8.3-300.fc25.x86_64' (see 'man yum2dnf')

Comment 1 Honza Silhan 2016-10-31 12:12:40 UTC

can you please share the your version of DNF? (rpm -q dnf). It should have been fixed in DNF-2.0. You can try it installing from rawhide if you want to test it.

Comment 2 lethalwp 2016-11-04 08:55:29 UTC

I tested it with the latest fedora 25 version:
dnf-1.1.10-3.fc25.noarch

You may close this bug if it is fixed in next release
Thank you.

Comment 3 Jaroslav Mracek 2016-11-07 14:04:07 UTC

The bug is fixed in dnf-2.0 that will be released in Fedora 26+. The testing version can be installed from copr repo rpmsoftwaremanagemet/dnf-nightly ('dnf copr enable rpmsoftwaremanagement/dnf-nightly').
