Error: Will not install a source rpm package
Last modified: 2017-05-09 17:24:22 EDT
Description of problem: We have the COPR repository vtrefny/rhinstaller with the package pykickstart. This package can't be installed on Rawhide and I'm getting this error message: Error: Will not install a source rpm package (pykickstart-2.33-2.20161118gitc278e56e.fc26.src). However the RPM package is there and even when it won't be there it should fallback to Rawhide's version of the package. This is blocker for our unit tests. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dnf-0:2.0.0-2.fc26.noarch rpm-0:4.13.0-11.fc26.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a Rawhide machine 2. dnf copr enable vtrefny/rhinstaller 3. dnf install pykickstart Actual results: The installation stops with error message: Error: Will not install a source rpm package Expected results: The installation should continue or it should print a message about broken package and skip to Rawhide's version.
dnf install pykickstart --debugsolver and attach "debugdata" directory.

okay, thanks... job install oneof pykickstart-2.33-2.20161118gitc278e56e.fc26.noarch@vtrefny-rhinstaller pykickstart-2.33-2.20161118gitc278e56e.fc26.src@vtrefny-rhinstaller pykickstart-2.33-2.fc26.noarch@rawhide [setevr,setarch] Can you provide output of `dnf config-manager --dump` and `dnf config-manager --dump-variables` ?
I don't think it's bug in libsolv, but anyway filed it to be sure.
Created attachment 1244786 [details] dnf dump
Created attachment 1244787 [details] dump variables
I've attached output from `dnf config-manager --dump` and `dnf config-manager --dump-variables`.
This is planned to be fixed within the next month.
This seems to be hitting all the i386 image composes in rawhide right now. ;(
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle. Changing version to '26'.
I created a pull-request that should solve the issue: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/755

I'm still experiencing this problem on fedora 26 with dnf 2.4.0-1.fc26. If I use my copr repository here: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/thanosapostolou/ns2-nam-xgraph/ I can install successfully otcl, tclcl and xgraph but when I try to install ns2 or nam I get the error: sudo dnf install ns2 Last metadata expiration check: 0:01:38 ago on Fri May 05 12:01:20 2017 EEST. Error: Will not install a source rpm package (ns2-2.35-1.fc26.src).
It turned out that it was my fault because I had a broken library on otcl which ns2 couldn't find. When I tried to install ns2 with yumex-dnf then it told me about this library wasn't provided by any package. I believe that `dnf install` should give a better message instead of trying to install a src.rpm.
