Description Adam Williamson 2022-02-03 23:21:51 UTC

pyanaconda/core/util.py has a resetRpmDB() function which hardcodes `/var/lib/rpm` as the RPM database location. But it's not any more:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2042099

so, that function - if it's still relevant - might need updating to consider the new location too.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 36 development cycle.
Changing version to 36.

Comment 2 Vladimír Slávik 2022-02-11 11:00:20 UTC

Taking, needs more looking.

- Weird use of the mentioned function, looks like it might not be useful anymore.
- There are more locations hardcoding the path.

One of the PRs to address this: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/3874

Comment 4 Vladimír Slávik 2022-03-08 18:20:27 UTC

Another and hopefully last PR: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/3934

Comment 5 Vladimír Slávik 2022-03-16 12:12:28 UTC

Both PRs merged for f36, but we're currently doing only patch builds so not released yet.
