Description

Thanks for the report. Let's investigate whether dnfdb contains information about installed packages. * Can you please try `dnf remove anaconda` after step 2 and share whether the behavior is as expected? * Can you after step 2 post the output of `cat /var/lib/dnf/yumdb/b/<somehash>-bcache-tools-<version>.<release>.<arch>/reason`? * what are the other packages going to be removed in step 5? First of all the packages to be removed in step 5. I followed all the steps in a VM (except actually using bcache, but the result is the same) and do the following (note the packages that are about te be removed from the system): [root@localhost ~]# dnf erase anaconda Dependencies resolved. ============================================================================================================================================================================================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================================================================================================================================================================================== Removing: NetworkManager-team x86_64 1:1.4.2-1.fc25 @anaconda 48 k anaconda x86_64 25.20.8-1.fc25 @anaconda 0 anaconda-core x86_64 25.20.8-1.fc25 @anaconda 8.7 M anaconda-gui x86_64 25.20.8-1.fc25 @anaconda 1.9 M anaconda-tui x86_64 25.20.8-1.fc25 @anaconda 576 k anaconda-user-help noarch 22.4-4.fc24 @anaconda 152 k anaconda-widgets x86_64 25.20.8-1.fc25 @anaconda 93 k bcache-tools x86_64 1.0.8-6.fc25 @anaconda 85 k createrepo_c x86_64 0.10.0-6.fc25 @anaconda 150 k createrepo_c-libs x86_64 0.10.0-6.fc25 @anaconda 207 k drpm x86_64 0.3.0-3.fc25 @anaconda 142 k glade-libs x86_64 3.20.0-1.fc25 @anaconda 1.9 M isomd5sum x86_64 1:1.1.0-3.fc25 @anaconda 53 k kexec-tools-anaconda-addon x86_64 2.0.13-7.fc25 @anaconda 131 k keybinder3 x86_64 0.3.0-6.fc24 @anaconda 23 k langtable noarch 0.0.36-2.fc25 @anaconda 120 k langtable-data noarch 0.0.36-2.fc25 @anaconda 633 k langtable-python3 noarch 0.0.36-2.fc25 @anaconda 180 k libblockdev x86_64 1.9-8.fc25 @anaconda 204 k libblockdev-btrfs x86_64 1.9-8.fc25 @anaconda 19 k libblockdev-crypto x86_64 1.9-8.fc25 @anaconda 23 k libblockdev-dm x86_64 1.9-8.fc25 @anaconda 15 k libblockdev-fs x86_64 1.9-8.fc25 @anaconda 19 k libblockdev-kbd x86_64 1.9-8.fc25 @anaconda 27 k libblockdev-loop x86_64 1.9-8.fc25 @anaconda 11 k libblockdev-lvm x86_64 1.9-8.fc25 @anaconda 35 k libblockdev-mdraid x86_64 1.9-8.fc25 @anaconda 23 k libblockdev-mpath x86_64 1.9-8.fc25 @anaconda 15 k libblockdev-plugins-all x86_64 1.9-8.fc25 @anaconda 0 libblockdev-swap x86_64 1.9-8.fc25 @anaconda 11 k libbytesize x86_64 0.7-3.fc25 @anaconda 92 k libreport-anaconda x86_64 2.8.0-1.fc25 @anaconda 17 k libtimezonemap x86_64 0.4.5-4.fc25 @anaconda 6.7 M python3-blivet noarch 1:2.1.6-4.fc25 @anaconda 4.5 M python3-blockdev x86_64 1.9-8.fc25 @anaconda 59 k python3-bytesize x86_64 0.7-3.fc25 @anaconda 60 k python3-coverage x86_64 4.2-1.fc25 @anaconda 1.0 M python3-iscsi-initiator-utils x86_64 6.2.0.873-34.git4c1f2d9.fc25 @anaconda 21 k python3-kickstart noarch 2.32-1.fc25 @anaconda 2.1 M python3-meh noarch 0.44-2.fc25 @anaconda 241 k python3-meh-gui noarch 0.44-2.fc25 @anaconda 18 k python3-ntplib noarch 0.3.3-4.fc25 @anaconda 40 k python3-ordered-set noarch 2.0.0-4.fc25 @anaconda 22 k python3-pid noarch 2.0.1-5.fc25 @anaconda 39 k python3-pwquality x86_64 1.3.0-6.fc25 @anaconda 20 k python3-pyparted x86_64 1:3.10.7-4.fc25 @anaconda 441 k python3-pytz noarch 2016.6.1-1.fc25 @anaconda 201 k python3-pyudev noarch 0.21.0-1.fc25 @anaconda 453 k python3-requests-file noarch 1.4-4.fc25 @anaconda 12 k python3-requests-ftp noarch 0.3.1-4.fc25 @anaconda 45 k python3-wrapt x86_64 1.10.8-2.fc25 @anaconda 188 k tigervnc-license noarch 1.7.0-3.fc25 @anaconda 18 k tigervnc-server-minimal x86_64 1.7.0-3.fc25 @anaconda 2.6 M volume_key-libs x86_64 0.3.9-10.fc25 @anaconda 685 k Transaction Summary ============================================================================================================================================================================================================================================== Remove 54 Packages Installed size: 35 M Is this ok [y/N]: And this is perfectly normal dnf functionality: it removes all packages that have been installed resulting as dependencies of anaconda.

This actually makes sense; in terms of rpm dependencies there's no difference. So it is completely "as axpected" (knowing how dnf works) but it is also ruining my system. After these anaconda removals it will no longere boot after reinstalling a new kernel (because dracut builds an initramdisk without bcache-tools).

I guess same as it does for btrfs-progs. This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '25'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. Reopened it, this is still an issue in Fedora 28. sudo dnf remove anaconda* Dependencies resolved.

============================================================================================================================ Remove 109 Packages Freed space: 272 M Is this ok [y/N]: Fedora 29 LXDE Spin There are two possible fixes for this. We can mark this installed in Anaconda when using bcache during the installation, however, that wouldn't be as easy as it sounds thanks to the payload mixing. It will require a bigger change and we don't have resources on that now. The other solution is to install this explicitly in the kickstart used to create the Live media. That would make it marked as installed so it wouldn't be removed as Anaconda dependency. The bonus of this solution is that it should be really easy to implement. The drawback is that it will be installed all the time not only when user needs it. Personally don't think this is a drawback because you can use that later and everything would be prepared. Which option do you prefer? Anyone interested in this topic can answer. (In reply to Jiri Konecny from comment #13) > There are two possible fixes for this.

Sad but better than nothing. In any case, this is not yet critical. Just strange and probably forgotten. This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life. On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 28. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '28'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 28 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 28 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-05-28. Fedora 28 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug.
