Description Andrei Stepanov 2019-05-14 10:49:23 UTC

DNF cannot perform any action on _installed_ module if originate repo is disabled.

dnf-4.0.9.2-5.el8.noarch

Example:

rpm -q httpd
httpd-2.4.37-11.module+el8.0.0+2969+90015743.x86_64

The package was installed as part of httpd module. httpd module was installed.

Let's suppose there is no Internet connection. And user disabled AppStream repo.

With this DNF completely unable to manage already installed httpd module.
It cannot be removed. User cannot get any information about this installed module.

yum --disablerepo='*' module remove httpd
Problems in request:
missing groups or modules: httpd
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!

This bug is about allowing to perform actions on installed modules.
For example: allow user to get list of installed modules, even all repos are disabled.

Comment 1 Jaroslav Mracek 2019-06-19 10:54:41 UTC

The behavior is improved by fail-safe mechanism that stores module information about enabled streams.

Comment 4 Daniel Mach 2019-08-14 11:36:43 UTC

This has been fixed already as part of Red Hatbug#1623128.
When a repo is disabled, cached modulemd is used and DNF operates as usual.
