Description Edgar Hoch 2016-12-08 01:55:17 UTC

Description of problem:

dnf upgrade run by dnf-automatic timer behaves different as on command line:

Packages locked by "dnf versionlock add packagename" are upgraded by dnf automatic but should not!

I blocked rpcbind by versionlock (reason: see bug 1401561).

# dnf versionlock list
rpcbind-0:0.2.3-10.rc1.fc24.*

# dnf list --showduplicates rpcbind
Available Packages
rpcbind.x86_64                                        0.2.3-10.rc1.fc24                                         fedora

I have checked "dnf upgrade", it doesn't list rpcbind as package for upgrade.

But at the next day, after dnf-automatic was run, rpcbind was upgraded, and I have to downgrade it again manually. Next day the same behaviour again:

# grep rpcbind /var/log/dnf.rpm.log
Dec 06 02:16:33 INFO Downgraded: rpcbind-0.2.3-10.rc1.fc24.x86_64

Dec 08 01:53:57 INFO Cleanup: rpcbind-0.2.3-10.rc1.fc24.x86_64


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf-1.1.10-2.fc24.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Downgrade a package
2. dnf versionlock a package
3. Check that dnf upgrade doesn't list the versionlocked package
4. Configure dnf-automatic to run
5. Wait until dnf-automatic was run
6. Check if the versionlocked package remains downgraded or was upgraded

Actual results:
dnf versionlocked package is upgraded by dnf-automatic

Expected results:
dnf versionlocked package is not upgraded by dnf-automatic

Sorry, I saw bug 1372307 but didn't identify it as duplicates previously.

Will the patch backported to Fedora 24 and 25?

Comment 3 Alexander Groß 2017-02-12 11:49:21 UTC

@Edgar Hoch, it seems Fedora 26 will be the first release that will receive the patch for the plugins. In the meantime, you can test dnf 2 using the Copr repository. Here is more information: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DNF-2.0 (where is also stated that dnf 1 will only receive security updates)
