Yes, your RPM with incorrect file names is probably a culprit. If I understand it correctly, to reproduce the issue your package should be removed during the transaction, but not installed at the same time (so reinstall won't work) - may be `dnf remove your-package`? Do you happen to have dnf logs from the failed operation? It would be also helpful if you could attach the rpm with invalid file names so I could try to reproduce the issue and eventually fix this ugly traceback. Also versions of dnf and libdnf used may help (rpm -q dnf libdnf). Created attachment 1728503 [details]
tar file of dnf logs
extracts of dnf log file
I worked out why remove/reinstall did not repeat the message/error. The files with the bad names were in a directory TestFiles ... but I had been playing around with putting more of these in /usr/share/doc/ and this increased the footprint, so the next release had them in a tar file. These files are now in TestFiles.tar.gz - so the problem will not manifest itself again (for this package). However: I expect that the bug is still there and will show its head when a RPM has files with 'strange' names. Is there a chance to get the rpm with files with the bad names (the older version before moving them into tar)? The bug is indeed still there and having package witch could reproduce the error would be great. You can send it privately to my email mblaha I looked into the logs and unfortunately did not find anything useful there. That was a quick reply ... what time zone are you in ? Unfortunately I purged a lot of stuff a couple of days ago. I will build a small RPM that contains the files with 'bad' names - easier for you and not much harder than going back through version control, etc, etc. I have put the test RPM up here: https://www.phcomp.co.uk/tmp/badfilename-1.13-0.0.noarch.rpm Please let me know when you have grabbed it & I will zap it. Unfortunately: installing/removing it does not give me nasty messages. I will have to go and build the whole MicroEmacs package ... although I don't see if that will trigger it more ??? I am busy for a bit - stuff that I need to do :-( Cool, thanks for the rpm! Now I can reproduce the error (and eventually fix it):
# dnf install badfilename-1.13-0.0.noarch.rpm
# dnf remove -y badfilename
...
...

Interesting: I installed/removed it with the rpm command -> no errors; you did it with dnf and got errors. Good luck squashing the bug.

Description of problem: I ran dnf update and got a error message. How reproducible: Running it again - problem does not manifest - presumably because it is installed. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/dnf", line 58, in <module> main.user_main(sys.argv[1:], exit_code=True) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/dnf/cli/main.py", line 191, in user_main errcode = main(args) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/dnf/cli/main.py", line 65, in main return _main(base, args, cli_class, option_parser_class) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/dnf/cli/main.py", line 98, in _main return cli_run(cli, base) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/dnf/cli/main.py", line 122, in cli_run ret = resolving(cli, base) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/dnf/cli/main.py", line 166, in resolving base.do_transaction(display=displays) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/dnf/cli/cli.py", line 243, in do_transaction tid = super(BaseCli, self).do_transaction(display) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/dnf/base.py", line 881, in do_transaction self._plugins.unload_removed_plugins(self.transaction) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/dnf/plugin.py", line 180, in unload_removed_plugins files_erased.update(pkg.files) UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x80 in position 50: invalid start byte I saw this on another machine that I look after. I thought that it might be an RPM of mine that creates some files with names that are deliberately bad UTF-8 -- as a test. But I uninstalled it & reinstalled it and the reinstall worked without issue.
