Description Karel Srot 2019-01-22 10:03:40 UTC

I am seeing this issue on RHEL-7.6.
The comment in bug 1554820 suggests it has been fixed in libsolv-0.6.35-3 however in RHEL-7 we have libsolv-0.6.34-2.el7.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1554820 +++

Description of problem:

When running "dnf upgrade", it reports that it cannot install the best update candidate for kernel related packages and suggests to reinstall them. When you confirm the operation, it produces the same output with the next "dnf upgrade".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

dnf-2.7.5-8.fc28.noarch

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run the "dnf upgrade" command

Actual results:

Problem 1: cannot install both kernel-4.16.0-0.rc4.git0.1.fc28.x86_64 and kernel-4.16.0-0.rc4.git0.1.fc28.x86_64
  - cannot install the best update candidate for package kernel-4.16.0-0.rc4.git0.1.fc28.x86_64
  - cannot install the best update candidate for package kernel-4.15.7-300.fc27.x86_64

Expected results:

Dnf should not reinstall packages when there are no updates available.

--- Additional comment from Jaroslav Mracek on 2018-03-21 08:44:27 UTC ---

Please can you provide data created by "dnf --debugsolver upgrade" command? Thanks a lot

--- Additional comment from Jaroslav Mracek on 2018-03-21 08:50:34 UTC ---

Additionally please can you try our upstream dnf if you can reproduce the bug (dnf copr enable rpmsoftwatemanagement/dnf-nightly)? Thanks a lot.

--- Additional comment from Gerry Agbobada on 2018-04-11 12:01:56 UTC ---

I have the same issue, so I'll provide the debugdata from dnf (Sorry for all the copr related data, but I'm not sure I'm supposed to filter them out).

I have the same F28Beta version of Fedora, and kernel keeps asking about reinstalling each time I run the upgrade command (with also a small issue about nss-pem package, it could show up in the debugdata).

The copr doesn't work when I try to update dnf (even after correcting the small typo in rpmsoftwaremanagement name)

--- Additional comment from Gerry Agbobada on 2018-04-11 12:03 UTC ---

The requested data

--- Additional comment from Michael Young on 2018-04-12 22:18:07 UTC ---

It is related to modular support, and possibly libmodulemd. I saw it in a server updated from Boltron, which went away when I deleted the left over module yaml files.
I recently replaced the install with a F28 server one, and the symptom has just reappeared after the latest update to dnf-2.7.5-9.fc28 which pulled in libmodulemd.
Now dnf update gives

Nothing to do.
as does
dnf update --disablerepo=fedora-modular --disablerepo=updates-modular
but the kernel reinstall happens if either fedora-modular or updates-modular is enabled.

--- Additional comment from Satish Balay on 2018-04-22 16:56:24 UTC ---

I see this issue when I invoke 'dnf update kernel*'. 'dnf update' does not list kernel in the update list.

Its a bit disconcerting that it wants to reinstall currently running/active kernel

The problem is fixed in upstream and will be released as part of dnf-4.0 and libsolv-0.6.35-3.

--- Additional comment from Jaroslav Mracek on 2018-10-08 14:40:08 UTC ---

Here is a copr repository for testing https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jmracek/dnf-upstream.

On F29 - I don't see this problem anymore

Nothing to do.
Complete!
[root@asterix ~]#

I guess the fix is primarily in libsolv-0.6.35-3 and not necessarily in dnf-4.0

Comment 1 Michael Young 2019-02-01 09:53:30 UTC

I installed a mock rebuild of libsolv-0.6.35-3.fc28 on my RHEL7 test VM and the problem goes away so it does indeed look like the problem will be fixed with a libsolv update.
