Description Martin Kolman 2018-10-08 13:18:57 UTC

Since DNF 3.6 DNF reports module dependency issues and Anaconda should abort the installation if such issues are detected, like it already does with broken packages and groups.

Otherwise there is the risk of silently installing a broken system.

NOTE: As this change requires DNF >=3.6, it needs to be coordinated with a DNF update.

Comment 2 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2018-10-08 13:51:52 UTC

Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 29-final by Fedora user m4rtink using the blocker tracking app because:

 Anaconda should make use of the new DNF 3.6 functionality to detect module dependency issues and abort the installation in such a case (as Anaconda already does for broken packages and groups).

Otherwise there is a risk we will silently install a broken system.

Comment 3 Adam Williamson 2018-10-08 15:39:53 UTC

3.6 already got pushed stable, so that's not a problem any more.

Comment 4 František Zatloukal 2018-10-08 18:06:42 UTC

Discussed during the 2018-10-08 blocker review meeting: [1]

The decision to classify this bug as an AcceptedFreezeException was made:

"This is clearly a useful and sensible protection and cannot be added post-release"
