dnf downgrade PACKAGE, misleading message about possible typo if PACKAGE is not installed
Last modified: 2015-10-05 22:14:37 EDT
Description of problem: Dnf writes misleading message about possible typo if the package is not installed. Maybe this can also happen with its other commands. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dnf-0.4.7-1.fc20.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf remove acpid 2. dnf downgrade acpid Actual results: * Maybe you meant: acpid Nothing to do Expected results: No "* Maybe you meant: acpid" message Additional info: This doesn't happen if the package is installed # dnf install acpid # dnd downgrade acpid ...downgrade in progress The same commands with yum: a) without acpid # yum downgrade acpid Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit No Match for available package: acpid-2.0.20-1.fc20.i686 Nothing to do b) with acpid # yum downgrade acpid ...downgrade in progress Maybe the yum output is not the best, but at least less confusing (at least for me).
Definitely a bug, Radek can you please take a look at this when the time permits? Thanks.
