Description Kamil Páral 2015-11-04 15:16:41 UTC
Description of problem:
With en_US locale, everything works well (ignore the dep issue, that's not important):

$ sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=23
Last metadata expiration check performed 0:05:49 ago on Wed Nov  4 16:03:25 2015.
Error: package smc-1.9-17.fc22.x86_64 requires libboost_filesystem.so.1.57.0()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages)

With zh_CN locale, the system-upgrade plugin is not found:
$ LC_ALL=zh_CN.UTF-8 sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=23
加载插件失败:system_upgrade
没有命令: system-upgrade。请使用 /bin/dnf --help
这可能是一个DNF插件的命令,请尝试:"dnf install 'dnf-command(system-upgrade)'"

which translates to:
Failed to load plugin: system_upgrade
No command: system-upgrade. Use / bin / dnf --help
This may be a DNF plug-in command, try: "dnf install 'dnf-command (system-upgrade)'"


Other Chinese users see even tracebacks:

Comment 1 Kamil Páral 2015-11-04 15:17:15 UTC
Adding wwoods into CC in case it's a bug in system-upgrade plugin somehow.

Comment 2 Kamil Páral 2015-11-04 15:49:01 UTC
A workaround for this (not tested) could be:
1. See what your current locale is:
$ locale
2. Switch system to English:
$ sudo localectl set-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8
3. Reboot, perform the upgrade.
4. Switch your system back to Chinese:
$ sudo localectl set-locale LANG=YOUR_OLD_LOCALE
5. Reboot.

Comment 3 Kamil Páral 2015-11-05 10:16:19 UTC
Also tracked in system-upgrade github:

Comment 4 Michal Luscon 2015-11-05 14:28:59 UTC
Hi,

I was able to reproduce the traceback and it seems that jsilhan was right with blaming python. The whole issue is apparently caused by lines #368 and #369 containing:

usage = dnf.i18n.ucd("[%s] [download --releasever=%s|reboot|clean|log]" % (
        _("OPTIONS"), _("VERSION")))

After commenting out those lines the plugin run smoothly. 

Using python3 version of plugin can be considered as another workaround.

Comment 5 Michal Luscon 2015-11-05 14:43:41 UTC
It can be also fixed by:

usage = "[%s] [download --releasever=%s|reboot|clean|log]" % (
        dnf.i18n.ucd(_("OPTIONS")), dnf.i18n.ucd(_("VERSION")))

Comment 6 Will Woods 2015-11-05 21:15:24 UTC
Hmm. `dnf config-manager` will probably have the same problem, then, since AFAICT it's doing the same thing:

    usage = '[%s] [%s]' % (_('OPTIONS'), _('KEYWORDS'))

See https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf-plugins-core/blob/dnf-plugins-core-0.1.13-1/plugins/config_manager.py#L49

I'm kind of confused about the root cause here, and the fact that we have to fix multiple plugins feels more like it's a bug in DNF (or, at least, something to add to the plugin docs, i.e. that the 'usage' property has to be the same type as.. whatever the return value of dnf.i18n._() is.)

Anyway, I should have a patch for this shortly.

Comment 7 Honza Silhan 2015-11-06 13:56:42 UTC
It's not a bug in DNF but Python 2 stuff that cannot handle concatenate different types of strings properly. If it would require fix on may places we can add proper gettext initialization in DNF [1].

Comment 8 Will Woods 2015-11-09 20:51:33 UTC
This commit should fix things for now:

  https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf-plugin-system-upgrade/commit/8430636

I can prepare a patch that uses dnf.i18n.translation once that lands in upstream dnf.

Expect dnf-plugin-system-upgrade 0.5.1/0.7.1 to arrive soon..ish.

Comment 9 Jens Petersen 2015-11-12 02:10:34 UTC
I cavalierly ignored comment 2 and just ran:

$ LANG=C sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=23
$ LANG=C sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot

Not only did it fail to upgrade - it also no longer boots and I don't know how to fix it. (Not sure if the old F21 rescue target boot target was still working.)

eg localectl in the rescue environment complains it can't connect to dbus.
(What could possibly go wrong...;)

Until dnf-plugin-system-upgrade-0.7.1 is released, you could probably work around this one of two ways:

1) Abort the upgrade

    See the directions here: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf-plugin-system-upgrade#in-case-of-boot-problems

2) Make the upgrade also use LANG=C

Follow the directions above, but instead of removing /sysroot/system-update,
add the following line to /lib/systemd/system/dnf-system-upgrade.service:
    
    Environment=LANG=C

Once you exit the emergency shell, the upgrade *should* start normally.

dnf-plugins-core-0.1.14-1.fc23 dnf-1.1.4-1.fc23 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 23. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-fe6e8b885b

Comment 12 Martin Rossbach 2015-11-18 09:27:47 UTC
I'd like to confirm that switching to locale "en_US" as comment 2 suggests will work flawlessly with the system upgrade from f21 to f23. Using Lang=C failed as with comment 9.

I failed with de_DE locale.....

(I did this comment for those still with f21 (or f22) and didn't get the update (yet))

I tried to install this update onto F22, and the problem persists. Before, I received this error (translated from Chinese):
Failed to load plugin: system_upgrade
No command: system-upgrade. Use / bin / dnf --help
This may be a DNF plug-in command, try: "dnf install 'dnf-command (system-upgrade)'"

With the update, I receive this (note the missing first line):
No command: system-upgrade. Use / bin / dnf --help
This may be a DNF plug-in command, try: "dnf install 'dnf-command (system-upgrade)'"

But it might be caused by package version mismatch? Please provide a F22 build to test this.

This does not fix this bug. Are system-upgrade changes needed as well?

Comment 20 Honza Silhan 2015-11-24 14:38:56 UTC
The changes were made in dnf [1] and in system-upgrade plugin [2]. I unreferenced this BZ from bodhi update.

Comment 24 Kamil Páral 2015-12-08 08:58:16 UTC
This fixes the problem for F22. But we have left the Chinese/Japanese/other users of F21 stranded, because we can no longer push a fix there. Their only choice is to do the workaround - switch system language to English (or other working language), perform the upgrade, and switch it back.
