Description of problem: When supplying the command-line argument '--exclude' or '-x' to dnf install, dnf displays an error message instead of installing the matching packages and excluding the specified packages. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dnf-0.6.1-1.fc21.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a root console 2. Type 'dnf install libreport-*.x86_64 -x *-devel' Actual results: dnf displays a "not installable" error message. See below for the pastebin of the exact output. Expected results: dnf should install every package that matches "libreport-*.x86_64" except those that match "*-devel" Additional info: The same command works as expected with yum. Output of dnf: http://pastebin.com/m3i2HU4n Output of yum: http://pastebin.com/vazFCv5G
Thanks for the report. DNF tries to select only one package that best matches the pattern. In DNF it works if you set multilib_policy to all: `dnf install libreport-*.x86_64 -x *-devel --setopt=multilib_policy=all`. We should change that to search them all. It should first get all package names and then choose right architecture for each. I will fix it.
Hi Jan, thanks for your answer! Let me know when I can take a look at your fix. :)
We should add new function to DNF - get_best_selectors, which would return list of selectors. The list will have more than one value only if package description pattern has `*` inside package name. Michael, take a look, please.
