While ideally this would be reported in a better way than with a traceback, it's definitely easier to report thanks to it. :)

Anaway, this is apparently a freeipa packaging issue, so reassigning.

Martin, this is really a bug in dnf.

FreeIPA has on purpose conflicts with ipa-* packages from RHEL:

Provides: %{alt_name}-server = %{version}
Conflicts: %{alt_name}-server
Obsoletes: %{alt_name}-server < %{version}

These combinations of Provides/Conflicts/Obsoletes handled well by rpm and basically allow to ensure %{alt_name}-server package is never installed if it isn't the same package as being installed.

It looks like DNF is not able to handle this situation under some circumstances. I'd rather have this fixed in DNF.

OK, I'll CC some people from DNF so that they can investigate.

Martin, do you think it will be possible to get debugsolver data from anaconda. Or is there any reproducer in empty installroot. It really helps a lot.

If I can reproduce the issue, I should be able to inject the necessary commands to generate the debugsolver output.

BTW, inspired by this, I've created bug 1574982, which is a RFE for easily enabling DNF debugsolver output in Anaconda.

Moving this issue to anaconda as it does not look like anything has changed recently on ipa packaging. See Comment #c19.

In my case the problem came from the fact that:
- I created a separate /var partition
- the installation failed a first time (due to another unrelated error).
- when I tried to install the second time, I dit NOT format /var, which was thus not empty (files copied during the first failed install).
- when I formated /var on the 3rd attempt, the installation went without error.
note that this happened with the minimal install (I didn't ask to install ipa* packages)

Hello morgan,

Could you please verify the not-formatted /var partition or similar is also your problem?

Thanks

Yes, iirc, it was - looking back, this bug comment and following discussion seems to confirm that: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1575131#c25

Closing as a duplicate of 1575131 based in the comment 28.
