Red Hat Bugzilla 1234763 0 medium CLOSED wildcard in dnf update/downgrade should match installed packages only 2021-02-22 00:41:40 UTC

Internal Links: 1234763

Description Matus Honek 2015-07-15 15:22:22 UTC
Description of problem:
When downgrading packages using `dnf downgrade <package-name>\*', dnf incorrectly considers already installed packages (aka those eligible for downgrading) as if they were not installed, resulting in `No match for available package' also for already installed packages, which is IMO incorrect.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Latest Fedora Rawhide.

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade packages to higher version than the one available in repos.
2. Try to downgrade using `dnf downgrade <package-name>\*'.

Actual results:
For `openldap' package behaves as follows:

[root@vm-086 10353731]# dnf downgrade openldap\*

Expected results:
Apart from resolving #1234763, dnf should also correctly match already installed packages and display correct statements instead of `No match for available package' for these.

Additional info:
  - Yum handles this as expected.
  - Beforehand I upgraded packages to version 2.4.41-1 (available as a scratch-build in koji) using `yum update openldap*.rpm'.
