Description Uri Simchoni 2018-09-28 22:21:06 UTC 
Description of problem:
/bin/basename does not appear as provided by coreutils-single when querying the fedora repository. This causes installation of an rpm file (Oracle Java JDK8) to fail.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
coreutils-single-8.29-7.fc28.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. spin-up a fedora 28 container:
docker run -it --rm fedora:latest /bin/bash
2. use the following commands:
[root@a6cdd04a835c /]# rpm -q coreutils-single
coreutils-single-8.29-7.fc28.x86_64
[root@a6cdd04a835c /]# ls -l /bin/basename  
-r-xr-xr-x. 1 root root 55 May 29 16:33 /bin/basename
[root@a6cdd04a835c /]# rpm -q --whatprovides /bin/basename
coreutils-single-8.29-7.fc28.x86_64
[root@a6cdd04a835c /]# dnf repoquery --whatprovides /bin/basename
Last metadata expiration check: 0:15:37 ago on Fri Sep 28 21:55:41 2018.
coreutils-0:8.29-5.fc28.x86_64
coreutils-0:8.29-7.fc28.x86_64


Actual results:
/bin/basename is installed, and shows up in local rpm query, but does not show up in repoquery. That appears to be causing a dnf install of an .rpm file which requires /bin/basename to fail.

Expected results:
repoquery should list coreutils-single as well.

Additional info:

By comparison, searching for /usr/bin/basename yields both coreutils and coreutils-single as candidates:

[root@a6cdd04a835c /]# dnf repoquery --whatprovides /usr/bin/basename

Comment 1 Kamil Dudka 2018-10-01 12:10:30 UTC 
Please report this bug to Oracle.  coreutils installs /usr/bin/basename since Fedora 17.  /bin/basename is only reachable via the /bin -> /usr/bin/ symlink.
Comment 2 Derrick Ornelas 2018-11-02 17:02:02 UTC 
This seems like a coreutils packaging bug to me, as it previously provided /bin/basename until now.
