Description Pavel Holica 2022-12-13 09:22:55 UTC

Description of problem:
dnf-plugins-core has broken dependencies in RHEL-8

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-8.8.0-20221213.0
python3-dnf-plugins-core-4.0.21-17.el8

Steps to Reproduce:
Run dnf repoclosure for mentioned packages

Actual results:
package: python3-dnf-plugins-core-4.0.21-17.el8.noarch from BaseOS
unresolved deps:
python3-distro


Expected results:
No broken dependencies

Additional notes:
This bug was generated by RTT semiautomatic reporting workflow

The problem is that the python3-distro is available in AppStream repository and not in BaseOS repository.

Although the BaseOS without AppStream repository is not strictly supported, this dependency issue prevents to perform any installation with just BaseOS repository as minimal installation crashes with following unresolved dependency error:

Error     
The following software marked for installation has errors. 
This is likely caused by an error with your installation source.     
 Problem 1: package dnf-plugins-core-4.0.21-17.el8.noarch requires python3-dnf- 
plugins-core = 4.0.21-17.el8, but none of the providers can be installed 
  - conflicting requests 
  - nothing provides python3-distro needed by python3-dnf-plugins- 
core-4.0.21-17.el8.noarch 
 Problem 2: package subscription-manager-1.28.34-1.el8.x86_64 requires dnf- 
plugin-subscription-manager = 1.28.34, but none of the providers can be 
installed 
  - package dnf-plugin-subscription-manager-1.28.34-1.el8.x86_64 requires 
python3-dnf-plugins-core, but none of the providers can be installed 
  - conflicting requests 
  - nothing provides python3-distro needed by python3-dnf-plugins- 
core-4.0.21-17.el8.noarch
