Description Renaud Métrich 2023-01-27 14:21:24 UTC

Description of problem:

When upgrading a system using leapp, after the upgrade, "yum list installed" command reports installed packages were installed by "System" repository, which is quite confusing, e.g.:
-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------
zstd.x86_64                                      1.4.4-1.el8                                 @System                          
-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------

This seems to happen because at the time of the upgrade, a local repository containing all the packages was somehow called "System", even though I don't find any reference to this in Leapp code.


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

leapp-0.15.0-2.el7_9.noarch
leapp-upgrade-el7toel8-0.17.0-1.el7_9.noarch

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Execute leapp
2. Check "yum list installed" after upgrade

Actual results:

@System everywhere

Expected results:

Ideally the name of the repository package came from

Additional info:

This is quite confusing for system administrators trying to track package releases and repos packages are coming from

Hi Renaud, thank you for the report. This is weird. We will investigate it. I would expect to see normal repoids to be used instead of "@system". We will look at it with the DNF team to investigate the root cause.
