Description Vitaly Lipatov 2017-12-12 17:06:17 UTC

Description of problem:

dnf install package with the same arch as already installed.

dnf-2.5.1-1.fc26.noarch

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
# rpm -e --allmatches gpm-devel   
# rpm -e --allmatches gpm-devel
error: package gpm-devel is not installed

2.
# dnf install gpm-devel.i686
Installed:
  gpm-devel.i686 1.20.7-10.fc26

3.
# dnf install gpm-devel
Package gpm-devel-1.20.7-10.fc26.i686 is already installed, skipping.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!


Expected results:
# dnf install gpm-devel
Installed:
  gpm-devel.x86_64 1.20.7-10.fc26 


Additional info:

yum does correct resolution here.

Comment 1 Daniel Mach 2017-12-13 12:12:02 UTC

This is expected behavior.
It is also expected to be different to YUM.

Dependency resolver (libsolv) has the dependency ('gpm-devel') satisfied with an installed package ('gpm-devel.i686'). If a user wants something more specific, he needs to provide more details in the input, for example gpm-devel.x86_64.

Thanks you for the comment. I see.

As for me, it is broken design when libsolv depends on arch of already installed package.
