Description Ronald Wahl 2015-12-06 13:51:07 UTC
Description of problem:
"dnf provides" gives unreliable result when using wildcards:

$ dnf provides "*/bin/ls*"

shows coreutils and redhat-lsb-core but misses some packages like usbutils, gnupg, libpst, ... that contain tools matching the glob expression. Changing the expression slightly finds them:

$ dnf provides "*/bin/lsu*"

shows usbutils

$ dnf provides "*/bin/lsp*"

shows gnupg and libpst

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf-1.1.4-2.fc22.noarch (with libsolv-0.6.14-2.fc22.x86_64)
dnf-1.1.4-2.fc23.noarch (with libsolv-0.6.14-5.fc23.x86_64)

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See description
2.
3.

Actual results:
Not all matching packages are listed.

Expected results:
All matching Packages should be listed.

Additional info:
Affects F22 and F23. Might be a dnf or libsolv bug.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 18:34:31 UTC
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 3 Ronald Wahl 2017-01-05 00:54:46 UTC
The bug is still present in Fedora 25.

Comment 4 Jaroslav Mracek 2017-08-31 12:30:11 UTC
I create a patch that should fix the issue for command "provides" (https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/915).
