Description of problem: Fedora branches in pkgdb are of the form fN (ex: f20) but epel 5 and 6 (not sure about epel 7) are of the form EL-N (ex: EL-6). fedpkg retire is trying to use "el6" which generates an error. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fedpkg-1.15-1.fc20.noarch How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. fedpkg clone openstack-sahara 2. cd openstack-sahara 3. fedpkg retire "epel update policy is not compatible with openstack rapid cycles" Actual results: $ fedpkg retire "epel update policy is not compatible with openstack rapid cycles" rm '.gitignore' rm 'openstack-sahara-api.init' rm 'openstack-sahara-api.service' rm 'openstack-sahara.spec' rm 'sources' rm 'sqlalchemy0.7-magic.patch' [el6 2eaeba9] epel update policy is not compatible with openstack rapid cycles 7 files changed, 1 insertion(+), 473 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 .gitignore create mode 100644 dead.package delete mode 100644 openstack-sahara-api.init delete mode 100644 openstack-sahara-api.service delete mode 100644 openstack-sahara.spec delete mode 100644 sources delete mode 100644 sqlalchemy0.7-magic.patch Counting objects: 6, done.

I'm seeing a potentially related issue for retiring Fedora packages at the moment with fedpkg-1.15-1.fc20.noarch First of all, if the origin remote url ends with ".git" (I'm not sure if I originally cloned that with fedpkg command or with Eclipse plugin), I get this error: No package found by this name Could not retire package: Command '['pkgdb-cli', 'orphan', '--retire', 'tesla-filelock.git', 'devel']' returned non-zero exit status 8 Then when I change the remote url to remove the ".git", this happens: No collection found by the name of devel Could not retire package: Command '['pkgdb-cli', 'orphan', '--retire', 'tesla-filelock', 'devel']' returned non-zero exit status 8 Using pkgdb-cli afterwards with the correct parameters works fine.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle. Changing version to '22'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/HouseKeeping/Fedora22
AFAIK this is fixed now. If there is still a problem with retirement, please re-open this bug or open a new one.
