Bug 2179413

There is one negative part of the request - if the same package will be available from multiple repositories - dnf will report separate error report for each package. Currently DNF de-duplitate identical reports.

I would like to ask you for a feedback for the format of output. What do you think about:

                "package bloop-ext-2.0-1.noarch@updates requires bloop = 2.0-1, but none of the providers can be installed",
                "cannot install both bloop-2.0-1.noarch@updates and bloop-1.0-1.noarch@@System",
                "conflicting requests",
                "package bloop-ext-1.0-1.noarch@updates is filtered out by exclude filtering"

or

                "package bloop-ext-2.0-1.noarch from 'updates' requires bloop = 2.0-1, but none of the providers can be installed",
                "cannot install both bloop-2.0-1.noarch from `updates` and bloop-1.0-1.noarch from `@System`",
                "conflicting requests",
                "package bloop-ext-1.0-1.noarch from `updates` is filtered out by exclude filtering"

Or do you have any other idea?

IMHO, the second suggested formatting is more clear and self descriptive (from 'updates'...). The '@' sign is already used for group ids which might be confusing.

 from `updates` looks fine to me as it's more readable, also we can also consider having format bloop-2.0-1.noarch(updates) like we had something with yum previously.

Just another opinion, but +1 for the "from '<repoid>'" format. It looks like the most straightforward.

Thank you very much for feedback.

I checked implementation in libdnf and it looks like that using "from '<repoid>'" will require additional changes in modules data structure, because formatting errors is shared with modules.

I have a patch that enhance error messages: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/libdnf/pull/1596
