It seems that you already have all those packages installed on your system, could you post the output of dnf list installed kernel* perf python-perf?
No, these packages were not installed. I built custom kernel with '.local' in name, and attempted to install. I believe this is a use case the dnf _must_ support. Again, dnf refused but yum succeeded. Since yum has now installed them, I can't reproduce the problem. Here is the dnf list _after_ yum did the update: dnf list installed kernel* perf python-perf Installed Packages kernel.x86_64 3.17.6-300.fc21 @System kernel.x86_64 3.17.7-300.fc21 @System kernel.x86_64 3.17.7-300.local.fc21 @System kernel-core.x86_64 3.17.6-300.fc21 @System kernel-core.x86_64 3.17.7-300.fc21 @System kernel-core.x86_64 3.17.7-300.local.fc21 @System kernel-devel.x86_64 3.17.7-300.fc21 @System kernel-devel.x86_64 3.17.7-300.local.fc21 @System kernel-doc.noarch 3.17.4-200.fc20 @System kernel-headers.x86_64 3.17.7-300.local.fc21 @System kernel-modules.x86_64 3.17.6-300.fc21 @System kernel-modules.x86_64 3.17.7-300.fc21 @System kernel-modules.x86_64 3.17.7-300.local.fc21 @System kernel-modules-extra.x86_64 3.17.6-300.fc21 @System kernel-modules-extra.x86_64 3.17.7-300.fc21 @System kernel-modules-extra.x86_64 3.17.7-300.local.fc21 @System kernel-tools.x86_64 3.17.7-300.local.fc21 @System kernel-tools-libs.x86_64 3.17.7-300.local.fc21 @System kernel-tools-libs-devel.x86_64 3.17.7-300.local.fc21 @System perf.x86_64 3.17.7-300.local.fc21 @System python-perf.x86_64 3.17.7-300.local.fc21 @System
Well, the packages (i.e. their names) are the same. That means you are actually trying to do upgrade, not installation. Closing as duplicate ... as explained in bug 1179632, this is a well known behavior and it is being discussed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1179632 ***
I'm not sure whether this is really duplicate of that bug because kernel is special in the way that it's "installonly". I'd say it's more similar to bug 1177074. This is kind of different discussion. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1177074 ***
OK, the root cause is the same as in bug 1179632 which is a duplicate of bug 1160950. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1160950 ***
