Description Villy Kruse 2020-09-28 08:11:22 UTC

Description of problem:

   This packages recommends 'kmod(gfs2.ko)' which can be satisfied by
   kernel-debug-modules-extra or by kernel-modules-extra.

   For some unknown reason dnf prefers the longer name.

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

   Probably a very old problem

How reproducible:

  Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  dnf remove kernel-modules-extra  (if installed)
2.  dnf upgrade gfs2-utils
3.

Actual results:

  kernel-debug-modules-extra, kernel-debug-core, and kernel-debug-modules are installed.

Expected results:

  kernel-modules-extra is installed


Additional info:

The module xl2tpd fixed a similar problem by adding these lines to the spec file.

# dnf resolving prefers kernel-debug-modules-extra over kernel-modules-extra
Suggests: kernel-modules-extra

Comment 1 Fedora Program Management 2021-04-29 16:39:20 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 32 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 32 on 2021-05-25.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '32'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 32 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Issue also seen in gfs2-utils-3.4.1-1.fc34.x86_64

I'm unable to reproduce this but it does seem to be a broader issue that was filed as bug 1652823. Closing as a duplicate.

Have you perhaps disabled "install_weak_deps" in dnf.conf? Or is kernel-modules-extra already installed?

Neither. I suspect that either package could be picked when dnf has no hint to give one priority over the other, so we're seeing different results by chance.

Or you have a secret configuration setting that fixes this.
