Description dsalazar23491 2017-07-07 04:22:27 UTC

Description of problem:
dnf ignores "exclude=" string at the end of *.repo files inside /etc/yum.repos.d


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf-1.1.10-6.fc25.noarch
rpm-4.13.0.1-1.fc25.i686

How reproducible:
I included rpmfusion-free repository in my list. The last version of VLC in that repository (3.0.0-0.28.git20170622.fc25) has some conflicts with wayland, hence the desirable behavior is updating that package only from Fedora official repositories (currently vlc-3.0.0-0.9.fc25.i686). Appending 

'exclude=vlc* vlc-core* vlc-extras*' 

at the end of '/etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion-free-updates.repo' does nothing, since '# dnf update' retrieves this

================================================================================ Package      Arch  Version                        Repository              Size
================================================================================
Updating:    
 vlc         i686  3.0.0-0.28.git20170622.fc25    rpmfusion-free-updates  2.0 M
 vlc-core    i686  3.0.0-0.28.git20170622.fc25    rpmfusion-free-updates  7.9 M
 vlc-extras  i686  3.0.0-0.28.git20170622.fc25    rpmfusion-free-updates   69 k

Transaction Summary
================================================================================
Update  3 Packages

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to /etc/yum.repos.d
2. Append a 'exclude=package1 package2...' string at the .repo file of a repository.
3. #dnf update

Actual results:
Getting package updates from undesired repositories.

Expected results:
Don't get updates for packages from undesired repositories.

Additional info:
Probably useless but this distribution (Fedora 25 Workstation 32 bits) was fresh-installed just a week ago.

Comment 1 Jaroslav Rohel 2017-07-10 13:07:39 UTC

I tested it on fresh Fedora 25 as the reporter. Option "exclude" worked without problem.

What you mean by "Appending at the and of '/etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion-free-updates.repo'"?
Append it to the end of appropriate section not to the end of file.


My functional rpmfusion-free-updates.repo file:

Comment 2 Jaroslav Rohel 2017-07-11 05:47:11 UTC

I can't reproduce the problem.
As I wrote in first comment. Append "exclude" option to the appropriate section not to the end of file.
