Description Pratyush Sahay 2013-01-27 07:08:50 UTC

Description of problem: Local mirror got synced with F18 packages yesterday. Shifted to it by making an exclusive baseurl entry in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo and /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo .. Now, dnf install process stops with the following message:

$ sudo dnf install gnome-user-share
Setting up Install Process
fedora                                 | 4.2 kB  00:00:00

  Downloaded: Thu Jan 24 23:14:35 2013


Can not read repomd file.

Redoing the same with yum results in a similar message but the install process proceeds:

$ sudo yum install gnome-user-share

Is this ok [y/N]:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
$ rpm -qa | grep dnf
dnf-0.2.20-1.gitdec970f.fc18.noarch


How reproducible: 


Steps to Reproduce:
1. sudo dnf update
2. Change /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo and /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo to make an entry for a mirror (in baseurl) that doesnt have real-time sync.
3. sudo dnf install <some_package>
  
Actual results:


Expected results: yum in comparison, though reports a similar message, but doesnt stop the install process. A similar functionality in dnf would be good.

Comment 1 Ales Kozumplik 2013-01-28 07:26:18 UTC

Thanks for the report.

Before I get around to debug this you can try cleaning all your metadata with 'dnf clean metadata' and retry the operation. If that doesn't help I'm interested what the output is:)

Comment 2 Ales Kozumplik 2013-02-11 13:34:27 UTC

This is still reproducible with dnf-0.2.21.

Comment 3 Ales Kozumplik 2013-02-11 14:16:07 UTC

Master commit 0e1a9ea fixes the bug and restores the original Yum behaviour (that is reporting, reverting and continuing after downloading an older than the current repomd.xml)
