Description Adam Williamson 2018-11-06 18:18:50 UTC

Zbigniew and I have both reported cases of "TransactionItem not found for key" or "TransactionItem state is not set" errors in two other bugs:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1627534#c1 (Zbigniew)
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1642796#c19 (me)

which turned out to be not the same as the other reports in those bugs, but a distinct case: this error can occur if the RPM database has multiple entries for a package when a transaction involving that package is run, as can be the case if a *previous* transaction went wrong somehow. So if you update from foo-1.0 to foo-2.0, only that transaction fails early and the RPM db winds up still having both 'foo-1.0' and 'foo-2.0' entries, then when you go to update to 'foo-3.0', the transaction may end with one of these errors.

Per https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1642796#c25 , jmracek has written a fix for this case:
