Description Hans de Goede 2019-10-11 10:02:25 UTC

Description of problem:

[hans@shalem ~]$ sudo dnf repoquery --alldeps --whatrequires tolua++
Last metadata expiration check: 1:21:37 ago on vr 11 okt 2019 10:35:35 CEST.
<empty>

[hans@shalem ~]$ rpm -q tolua++ --provides
tolua++-1.0.93-24.fc29.x86_64
libtolua++-5.3.so()(64bit)
tolua++ = 1.0.93-24.fc29
tolua++(x86-64) = 1.0.93-24.fc29

[hans@shalem ~]$ sudo dnf repoquery --alldeps --whatrequires 'libtolua++-5.3.so()(64bit)'
Last metadata expiration check: 1:25:35 ago on vr 11 okt 2019 10:35:35 CEST.
ClanLib06-0:0.6.5-45.fc31.x86_64
cegui-0:0.8.7-15.fc31.x86_64
cegui-devel-0:0.8.7-15.fc31.x86_64

AFAIK the first dnf command should also have shown these. This has also caused tolua++ do be retired as the orphan reports did not include these deps likely due to this dnf issue.

Comment 1 Miro Hrončok 2019-10-11 11:18:44 UTC

IMHO this only doesn't work because tolua++ is retired and hence repoquery doesn't know what it is supposed to provide.


See the difference:

$ repoquery --releasever=31 --repo=fedora{,-source} --repo=updates{,-source} --whatrequires tolua++
<empty>

$ repoquery --releasever=30 --repo=fedora{,-source} --repo=updates{,-source} --whatrequires tolua++
ClanLib06-0:0.6.5-44.fc30.i686

cegui-0:0.8.7-14.fc30.x86_64
cegui-devel-0:0.8.7-14.fc30.i686
cegui-devel-0:0.8.7-14.fc30.x86_64

Comment 2 Jaroslav Mracek 2019-10-11 12:26:57 UTC

Thanks Miro for comment. `sudo dnf repoquery --alldeps --whatrequires tolua++` command is using only available metadata, therefore this is the reason for different output between rpm and dnf commands. To run repoquery on top of installed rpm, please add --installed option. To use installed and available data please add --installed --available options.

Ah, good point, my bad, lets close this then.
