Description Valdis Kletnieks 2017-09-14 07:26:08 UTC

Description of problem:
'dnf check' on my laptop throws some 70 errors, all of the form 'has missing requires of' - even though there's no actual issue.

For example:
# dnf check
(...)
tkimg-1.4-26.fc27.x86_64 has missing requires of tcl(abi) = 8.6
tkimg-1.4-26.fc27.x86_64 has missing requires of tk >= 8.6
xorg-x11-xinit-1.3.4-16.fc28.x86_64 has missing requires of xhost

Let's investigate that last:

#  rpm -q --whatprovides xhost
xorg-x11-server-utils-7.7-23.fc27.x86_64
# rpm -q --provides xorg-x11-server-utils-7.7-23.fc27.x86_64 | grep xhost
xhost = 1.0.7
# rpm -V xorg-x11-xinit-1.3.4-16.fc28.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-utils-7.7-23.fc27.x86_64
(no issues reported)

(Similar issue for 14 things that complain libglibmm-2.4.so.1()(64bit) is missing, even though RPM thinks it's there...)

So what's going on here? (Already did an 'rpm --drebuilddb' and 'dnf clean' without changing anything)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf-2.6.3-9.fc28.noarch

Please can you provide an output from dnf:

# dnf repoquery --installed --requires xorg-x11-xinit-1.3.4-16.fc28.x86_64

# dnf repoquery --installed --provides xorg-x11-server-utils-7.7-23.fc27.x86_64

# dnf repoquery --installed xorg-x11-server-utils xorg-x11-xinit

Just to know what dnf sees.

Thanks a lot

Comment 2 Valdis Kletnieks 2017-09-14 19:50:51 UTC

Aha.  Figured it out.

All 70 "missing includes of" errors were because the RPM with the --provides was listed in an exclude= in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf  I have about a dozen RPMs listed for various reasons - mostly when I have some local thing that needs tweaking if an RPM gets updated or I have a local patch against an RPM. 'xhost' was collateral damage because xorg-x11-server-* was excluded so it wouldn't accidentally install and collide with the NVidia driver..

So 'dnf --disableexcludes=all check' works.  It was just totally non-intuitive that 'check' would look at what was accessible via a repo rather than what was actually installed....

Comment 3 Jaroslav Mracek 2017-09-18 09:03:07 UTC

Thanks a lot for information. I create a patch (https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/927) that should solve the issue without ignoring excludes from commandline.
