Description Jiri Konecny 2017-01-26 09:35:13 UTC
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.

Can you provide output of `dnf config-manager --dump` and `dnf config-manager --dump-variables` ?

Comment 4 Igor Gnatenko 2017-01-26 12:27:38 UTC
I don't think it's bug in libsolv, but anyway filed it to be sure.

This is planned to be fixed within the next month.

Comment 11 Kevin Fenzi 2017-02-23 00:00:57 UTC
This seems to be hitting all the i386 image composes in rawhide right now. ;(

Comment 12 Fedora End Of Life 2017-02-28 11:03:47 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle.
Changing version to '26'.

Comment 13 Jaroslav Mracek 2017-03-03 15:15:53 UTC
I created a pull-request that should solve the issue: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/755

Comment 18 Thanos Apostolou 2017-05-05 09:06:12 UTC
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).

Comment 19 Thanos Apostolou 2017-05-05 10:06:26 UTC
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.
