Description of problem: dnf does not treat local downgrade files as a set, but rather individually, leading to errors: # dnf downgrade *.rpm Using metadata from Sat Feb 28 18:44:14 2015 Error: nothing provides glibc-headers = 2.21.90-3.fc23 needed by glibc-devel-2.21.90-3.fc23.x86_64. package glibc-headers-2.21.90-3.fc23.x86_64 is not installable. package nscd-2.21.90-3.fc23.x86_64 is not installable. nothing provides glibc-headers = 2.21.90-3.fc23 needed by glibc-devel-2.21.90-3.fc23.x86_64 [root@bronto-burt boeckb]# ls *.rpm glibc-devel-2.21.90-3.fc23.x86_64.rpm glibc-2.21.90-3.fc23.x86_64.rpm glibc-headers-2.21.90-3.fc23.x86_64.rpm nscd-2.21.90-3.fc23.x86_64.rpm glibc-common-2.21.90-3.fc23.x86_64.rpm # yum downgrade *.rpm Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, remove-with-leaves Examining glibc-2.21.90-3.fc23.x86_64.rpm: glibc-2.21.90-3.fc23.x86_64 Examining glibc-common-2.21.90-3.fc23.x86_64.rpm: glibc-common-2.21.90-3.fc23.x86_64 Examining glibc-devel-2.21.90-3.fc23.x86_64.rpm: glibc-devel-2.21.90-3.fc23.x86_64 Examining glibc-headers-2.21.90-3.fc23.x86_64.rpm: glibc-headers-2.21.90-3.fc23.x86_64 Examining nscd-2.21.90-3.fc23.x86_64.rpm: nscd-2.21.90-3.fc23.x86_64 Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package glibc.x86_64 0:2.21.90-3.fc23 will be a downgrade ---> Package glibc.x86_64 0:2.21.90-3.fc23.1 will be erased ---> Package glibc-common.x86_64 0:2.21.90-3.fc23 will be a downgrade ---> Package glibc-common.x86_64 0:2.21.90-3.fc23.1 will be erased ---> Package glibc-devel.x86_64 0:2.21.90-3.fc23 will be a downgrade ---> Package glibc-devel.x86_64 0:2.21.90-3.fc23.1 will be erased ---> Package glibc-headers.x86_64 0:2.21.90-3.fc23 will be a downgrade ---> Package glibc-headers.x86_64 0:2.21.90-3.fc23.1 will be erased ---> Package nscd.x86_64 0:2.21.90-3.fc23 will be a downgrade ---> Package nscd.x86_64 0:2.21.90-3.fc23.1 will be erased --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved =============================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size =============================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================== Downgrading: glibc x86_64 2.21.90-3.fc23 /glibc-2.21.90-3.fc23.x86_64 14 M glibc-common x86_64 2.21.90-3.fc23 /glibc-common-2.21.90-3.fc23.x86_64 115 M glibc-devel x86_64 2.21.90-3.fc23 /glibc-devel-2.21.90-3.fc23.x86_64 1.0 M glibc-headers x86_64 2.21.90-3.fc23 /glibc-headers-2.21.90-3.fc23.x86_64 2.2 M nscd x86_64 2.21.90-3.fc23 /nscd-2.21.90-3.fc23.x86_64 188 k Transaction Summary =============================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================== Downgrade 5 Packages Total size: 132 M Is this ok [y/d/N]: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dnf-0.6.4-2.fc23.noarch
Thanks for the report. Can you try `dnf downgrade *.rpm --allowerasing`, `dnf install *.rpm` and post the output, please? I just want to know if with this switch it's working but this should be fixed anyway.

It works for me without --allowerasing switch. Can you upload the debugdata [1], please? Probably we should just add `SOLVER_FLAG_ALLOW_DOWNGRADE` flag to solver during any downgrades. [1] https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/wiki/Bug-Reporting#depsolving-problem

Created attachment 1012468 [details] DNF debugdata for kernel downgrade attempt
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle. Changing version to '23'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora23
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
I'm assuming the debugdata from Comment #5 is sufficient?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
