Description of problem: If running kernel is the oldest kernel instelled in the system and 3 (or installonly_limit in dnf.conf) kernel rpms are installed, then dnf removes currently running kernel when kernel is updated. E.g. $ rpm -q kernel kernel-4.9.13-201.fc25.x86_64 kernel-4.10.9-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-4.10.10-200.fc25.x86_64 $ sudo dnf update Last metadata expiration check: 0:01:02 ago on Wed Apr 19 15:10:12 2017.

Actual results: dnf removes the oldest kernel regardless of the kernel is running or not. Expected results: dnf removes the oldest and not running kernel Additional info:
Please, update dnf to dnf-2.3.0, can you try to reproduce this problem with new dnf?
I've also tested with dnf-2.3.0-1.fc27.noarch. However, the problem still exist.
Please can you try it with dnf-2.4 and provide output from: 1. "dnf repoquery --userinstalled kernel*" 2. "dnf repoquery kernel*" 3. "dnf upgrade" # where it tries to remove running kernel 4. also setting of koji repo could help (just to know the origin of packages) (/etc/yum.repos.d/<repo koji>.repo) 5. Please also ensure that that you run certain kernel version and provide exact version of that kernel I ask so meny questions because I am unable to reproduce the problem on my VM.
Sorry for late reply. 1. Now I use dnf-2.4.0-2.fc26.noarch, and it seems not to have the option '--userinstalled'.

I create patch for kernel removal logic that could help. Please to test it do as follows: # please start with running the newest kernel. 1. "dnf copr enable rpmsoftwaremanagement/rpm-gitoverlay-1494315254.398449" # it enable copr repository with patch 2. "sudo dnf --repo rpmsoftwaremanagement-rpm-gitoverlay-1494315254.398449 upgrade dnf libdnf libsolv" # To upgrade to dnf-2.4.0_1-7gca0f46b.fc25.noarch, libdnf-0.8.2-3gc54f4fd.fc25.x86_64, libsolv-0.6.27-1.fc25.x86_64 3. Try "dnf upgrade --assumeno" to check if transaction is possible with update of new kernel and which kernel is remove. 4. Reboot with oldest kernel and then run again "dnf upgrade --assumeno" Expected result: Install new kernel Removes oldest kernel that is not running. I hope that it will work for you, because I cannot reproduce your problem on my side. Please report the result of this test.
Unfortunately, the copr packages does not fix this issue. I've tested the procedure written in comment #3 with the copr dnf. Note that, in the comment #4, I've tested on Fedora 26, however the following results is tested on Fedora 25, because the copr dnf is build for Fedora 25. 1. ============= $ sudo dnf repoquery --installed kernel* kernel-0:4.10.13-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-0:4.10.14-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-0:4.9.13-201.fc25.x86_64 kernel-core-0:4.10.13-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-modules-0:4.10.13-200.fc25.x86_64 ============= 2. ============= $ sudo dnf repoquery kernel* Last metadata expiration check: 0:04:33 ago on Wed May 10 15:28:49 2017 JST. kernel-0:4.10.13-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-0:4.10.14-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-0:4.10.15-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-0:4.8.6-300.fc25.x86_64 kernel-0:4.9.13-201.fc25.x86_64 kernel-PAE-devel-0:4.10.13-200.fc25.i686 kernel-PAE-devel-0:4.10.14-200.fc25.i686 kernel-PAEdebug-devel-0:4.10.13-200.fc25.i686 kernel-PAEdebug-devel-0:4.10.14-200.fc25.i686 kernel-core-0:4.10.13-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-core-0:4.10.14-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-core-0:4.10.15-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-core-0:4.8.6-300.fc25.x86_64 kernel-core-0:4.9.13-201.fc25.x86_64 kernel-cross-headers-0:4.10.13-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-cross-headers-0:4.10.14-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-cross-headers-0:4.10.15-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-cross-headers-0:4.8.6-300.fc25.x86_64 kernel-cross-headers-0:4.9.13-201.fc25.x86_64 kernel-debug-0:4.10.13-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-debug-0:4.10.14-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-debug-0:4.10.15-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-debug-0:4.8.6-300.fc25.x86_64 kernel-debug-0:4.9.13-201.fc25.x86_64 kernel-debug-core-0:4.10.13-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-debug-core-0:4.10.14-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-debug-core-0:4.10.15-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-debug-core-0:4.8.6-300.fc25.x86_64 kernel-debug-core-0:4.9.13-201.fc25.x86_64 kernel-debug-devel-0:4.10.13-200.fc25.i686 kernel-debug-devel-0:4.10.13-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-debug-devel-0:4.10.14-200.fc25.i686 kernel-debug-devel-0:4.10.14-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-debug-devel-0:4.10.15-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-debug-devel-0:4.8.6-300.fc25.x86_64 kernel-debug-devel-0:4.9.13-201.fc25.x86_64 kernel-debug-modules-0:4.10.13-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-debug-modules-0:4.10.14-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-debug-modules-0:4.10.15-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-debug-modules-0:4.8.6-300.fc25.x86_64 kernel-debug-modules-0:4.9.13-201.fc25.x86_64 kernel-debug-modules-extra-0:4.10.13-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-debug-modules-extra-0:4.10.14-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-debug-modules-extra-0:4.10.15-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-debug-modules-extra-0:4.8.6-300.fc25.x86_64 kernel-debug-modules-extra-0:4.9.13-201.fc25.x86_64 kernel-devel-0:4.10.13-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-devel-0:4.10.14-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-devel-0:4.10.15-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-devel-0:4.8.6-300.fc25.x86_64 kernel-devel-0:4.9.13-201.fc25.x86_64 kernel-headers-0:4.10.13-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-headers-0:4.10.14-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-headers-0:4.10.15-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-headers-0:4.8.6-300.fc25.x86_64 kernel-headers-0:4.9.13-201.fc25.x86_64 kernel-modules-0:4.10.13-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-modules-0:4.10.14-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-modules-0:4.10.15-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-modules-0:4.8.6-300.fc25.x86_64 kernel-modules-0:4.9.13-201.fc25.x86_64 kernel-modules-extra-0:4.10.13-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-modules-extra-0:4.10.14-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-modules-extra-0:4.10.15-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-modules-extra-0:4.8.6-300.fc25.x86_64 kernel-modules-extra-0:4.9.13-201.fc25.x86_64 kernel-rpm-macros-0:44-1.fc25.noarch kernel-rpm-macros-0:45-1.fc25.noarch kernel-tools-0:4.10.13-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-tools-0:4.10.14-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-tools-0:4.10.15-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-tools-0:4.8.6-300.fc25.x86_64 kernel-tools-0:4.9.13-201.fc25.x86_64 kernel-tools-libs-0:4.10.13-200.fc25.i686 kernel-tools-libs-0:4.10.13-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-tools-libs-0:4.10.14-200.fc25.i686 kernel-tools-libs-0:4.10.14-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-tools-libs-0:4.10.15-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-tools-libs-0:4.8.6-300.fc25.i686 kernel-tools-libs-0:4.8.6-300.fc25.x86_64 kernel-tools-libs-0:4.9.13-201.fc25.x86_64 kernel-tools-libs-devel-0:4.10.13-200.fc25.i686 kernel-tools-libs-devel-0:4.10.13-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-tools-libs-devel-0:4.10.14-200.fc25.i686 kernel-tools-libs-devel-0:4.10.14-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-tools-libs-devel-0:4.10.15-200.fc25.x86_64 kernel-tools-libs-devel-0:4.8.6-300.fc25.i686 kernel-tools-libs-devel-0:4.8.6-300.fc25.x86_64 kernel-tools-libs-devel-0:4.9.13-201.fc25.x86_64 kernelshark-0:2.6-2.1.fc25.x86_64 kernelshark-0:2.6-2.fc25.x86_64 ============= 3. ============= $ uname -a Linux hk11.yukawa.kyoto-u.ac.jp 4.9.13-201.fc25.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Mar 7 23:47:11 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ sudo dnf upgrade --assumeno Last metadata expiration check: 0:07:26 ago on Wed May 10 15:28:49 2017 JST.

Ok, please can you provide output from ``ls /boot/ -l``? I suppose that you performed steps from Comment 5.

It looks like that your system cannot correctly detect running kernel that is handled by libdnf package. We detect package that provide a running kernel like that - that we looked for pakage that provides file '/boot/vmlinuz- + version of running kernel like '4.10.14-200.fc25.x86_64' therefore we search for string '/boot/vmlinuz-4.10.14-200.fc25.x86_64'. Please can you try to create such a string with version of running kernel for your computer (like /boot/vmlinuz-4.9.13-201.fc25.x86_64) and try sudo dnf repoquery --installed --whatprovides '<string>' Also I do not have access to your koji repo, therefore please can you provide kernel packages in oldest version that makes a problem (running kernel that is oldest). Please can you report version of libdnf and libsolv on your systems? Hope that I will be able to reproduce your problem on my site.

Oh, I got it. The function running_kernel() in hy-iutil.c https://github.com/rpm-software-management/libdnf/blob/master/libdnf/hy-iutil.c#L362 is I guess not suitable for my systems. If the machine does not use grub2, more precisely, grubby is not installed, then /boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r) does not exist. The file is created by the post-install script of kernel-core.rpm only if grubby is installed. If grubby is not installed, post-install script creates /boot/$(cat /etc/machine-id)/$(uname -r)/linux and the corresponding initrd. But the file is not detected by libdnf. So, actually, by touching /boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r), updating kernel works as expected.

(In reply to Jaroslav Mracek from comment #11) > Also I do not have access to your koji repo, therefore please can you > provide kernel packages in oldest version that makes a problem (running > kernel that is oldest). I enabled indexes option in my repository, so now you can access my koji repo. http://www2.yukawa.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~yu.watanabe/repo/koji/26/x86_64/ But all the rpm files are just retrieved from https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 by using koji command. So, I guess the reproductivity of the problem is not related to the repository.
The file /boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r) is labeled as %ghost file in the kernel-core package. Instead of the file, how about using /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/vmlinuz ? The file is identical to /boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r) and /boot/$(cat /etc/machine-id)/$(uname -r)/linux if they exist.
Created attachment 1278113 [details] Patch to use /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/vmlinuz for detecting the running kernel
Thanks for the patch, but still dont know the root of your problem. I create a special testing version of libdnf just for you (dnf copr enable jmracek/kernel-test). Please install from that repo libdnf and python3-hawkey both in version 0.8.2-1.git.1511.8b133bf.fc25 or 0.8.2-1.git.1511.8b133bf.fc26. Then try in case whet it removes running kernel and provide output from it, and uname -a as attachment. (filename ) Also output from script could help, but replace <filename> with string from ``/boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r)`` #!/usr/bin/python3 -tt import dnf, base = dnf.Base() base.read_all_repos() base.fill_sack() print(base.sack.query().installed().filter(file=<filename>).run()) Thanks a lot. I guess that file ``/boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r)`` is provided by two installed packages therefore the first package in query could be not running kernel.

The above 4 files contain the output of 'dnf update' with libdnf-0.8.2-1.git.1511.8b133bf.fc26.x86_64. The file its name ends with -touch.txt is the case /boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r) exists.
Thanks a lot. The problem is in hy-iutils.c line 364.: ``` if (access(fn, F_OK)) { g_debug("running_kernel(): no matching file: %s.", fn); return -1; ``` It checks if file is there. It is possible to solve it by using your solution or by removal of this part. Thanks a lot for your cooperation and i believe it will be fixed soon.
I created patch that should help https://github.com/rpm-software-management/libdnf/pull/285. Please if you can test it here is copr repo with patch - libdnf ("dnf copr enable rpmsoftwaremanagement/rpm-gitoverlay-1494835397.199814" ) Thanks for cooperation.
