Created attachment 1508328 [details]
output from attempted duplicates handling

Description of problem:

With duplicate packages 

texlive-SIunits-svn15878.1.36-21.fc29.noarch
texlive-SIunits-svn15878.1.36-22.fc29.noarch

present on an installation an attempt to run 'dnf remove --duplicates' goes through all motions and with all steps apparently completed fails with:

  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/libdnf/transaction.py", line 758, in endTransaction
    return _transaction.Swdb_endTransaction(self, dtEnd, rpmdbVersionEnd, state)
RuntimeError: TransactionItem state is not set: texlive-SIunits-8:svn15878.1.36-21.fc29.noarch

After that duplicate packages are still reported as present.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf-4.0.4-2.fc29

How reproducible:
Tried few times with always the same result.

Additional info:
A complete record of a screen output from a removal attempt is attached.

I do not know if texlive-SIunits package is significant here.
'dnf remove texlive-SIunits-svn15878.1.36-21.fc29.noarch' works without any fuss with results as expected.

Comment 1 Jaroslav Mracek 2018-11-26 11:41:46 UTC
I belive that the problem is fixed in dnf-4.0.9-1 (update-testing repository) where is the patch https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/commit/be1e853b422ca2dbbe30c0fa7d5549cd6c8a59a4. Please if you can reproduce the issue also with dnf-4.0.9-1, don't hesitate to reopen the bug report.
