Description Miroslav Suchý 2020-12-16 08:38:47 UTC

Description of problem:
At the end of a transaction, DNF verify the transaction. E.g.:

  Verifying      : vim-common-2:8.2.2115-1.fc33.x86_64

This almost instant action. Even for a hundred packages.

I propose to not print this long list on tty (it may stay in log). And just print the summary. E.g.:

  Verifying transaction: OK

Comment 1 Panu Matilainen 2020-12-16 08:58:25 UTC

Oh, indeed! +100

The verification phase is one of those stranger leftovers from yum, it's just a whole lot of non-information distracting from what really went on. If you want to preserve a progress bar then put it all in one line, similar to how rpm does the "preparing..." stage, but as dnf doesn't do that (which can actually some time), it might just as well just print that one line saying "verifying, ok/fail".

Comment 2 Jaroslav Mracek 2023-09-19 11:46:34 UTC

I created a PR that remove the report from output - https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/1990.

Comment 4 Adam Williamson (Red Hat non-Fedora) 2023-10-18 18:26:09 UTC

I think this broke anaconda. Fun, huh? Confirming RN.

Comment 6 Jan Kolarik 2023-10-19 08:44:53 UTC

I am switching the target version here to Rawhide, where it was fixed by FEDORA-2023-b2e727c6f6, see also https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2023-b2e727c6f6. Anaconda in Rawhide should be working with this change (https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/5229). And I am going to patch the dnf in other Fedora downstreams to not include this change.
