I believe this is a problem of our simple mechanism that automatically requests filelists metadata for any filepath specs: "pattern[0] == '/' || (pattern[0] == '*' && pattern[1] == '/');". This should be addressed also for dnf4. Ping this has been open for more than a year and should be a trivial thing to fix This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 42 development cycle. Changing version to 42. This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 42 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 42 on 2026-05-13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of '42'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora Linux 42 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version prior to this bug being closed. |
We noticed this when building images in mkosi, where 'dnf5 install systemd' would fail, because systemd.rpm has Requires:/usr/bin/getfacl. It's easy to show with any install command: $ sudo dnf5 install /usr/sbin/zfs Updating and loading repositories: Fedora - Rawhide - Developmental packages for the next Fedora release 100% | 3.0 MiB/s | 56.8 MiB | 00m19s ... This is the full filepath metadata. But this path is "allowlisted" to be in primary metadata: $ unzck -c /var/cache/dnf/rawhide-2d95c80a1fa0a67d/repodata/1f05eb1a7a3e817da09b554f3199980b5bbfb7cca4636e0e3490c628963d1885-primary.xml.zck|grep '<file>/usr/sbin/zfs<' <file>/usr/sbin/zfs</file> Paths that are allow-listed must be special-cased. I suspect that this issue is caused by the recent changes to be more informative when (non-allowlisted) file dependencies are used. Reproducible: Always
