update is dragging in fuse and fuse-zfs as dependencies
Last modified: 2017-08-24 19:21:01 EDT
Created attachment 1310998 [details] debugdata from debugsolver Description of problem: Several packages are being dragged in as dependencies for unknown reasons during a normal 'dnf update' including ZFS stuff. Fedora doesn't support ZFS at all so this seems weird. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dnf-2.6.2-1.fc26.noarch How reproducible: Always, but just today. Last week's updates didn't do this, or at any time prior. Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf update 2. 3. Actual results: Installing dependencies: fuse x86_64 2.9.7-2.fc26 fedora 83 k libvirt-daemon-driver-storage-zfs x86_64 3.2.1-5.fc26 updates-testing 18 k python2-asn1crypto noarch 0.22.0-4.fc26 updates 173 k python2-jwcrypto noarch 0.4.2-3.fc26 updates-testing 62 k replacing python-jwcrypto.noarch 0.3.2-3.fc26 python3-asn1crypto noarch 0.22.0-4.fc26 updates 176 k zfs-fuse Expected results: Honestly I don't know. Maybe that I should get some reference to what update is causing these uninstalled dependencies to need to be installed, which is more of a feature request than a bug. But I'm definitely not expecting fuse, zfs-fuse, or the libvirt zfs driver to be installed since I have nothing ZFS related on this system. Additional info:
[chris@f26s ~]$ sudo dnf update --exclude=zfs-fuse Skipping packages with broken dependencies: cockpit-machines libvirt libvirt-daemon-kvm [chris@f26s ~]$ sudo dnf update libvirt Installing dependencies: fuse libvirt-daemon-driver-storage-zfs zfs-fuse Doesn't happen if I just update cockpit or cockpit-machines. So for whatever reason libvirt 3.2.1-5.fc26 update is trying to drag in ZFS stuff.
Nevermind, looks intentional. Bug 1471912.
On third thought, "get some reference to what update is causing these uninstalled dependencies to need to be installed" still seems like a valid feature request.

just a note, the 'libvirt' package is a metapackage that pulls in every libvirt subpackage. you can remove it, and only install the libvirt-daemon-storage-driver-X bits that you need, which for most users is likely just libvirt-daemon-storage-driver-core
Really surprised to see this closed as NOTABUG :(
Lars, see comment #5 for a workaround. Maybe you are installing the bare libvirt package but that's overkill
I realize there is a workaround. I just feel that it is wrong for the package which a lot of people will probably install, to pull in a lot of unnecessary packages.
