Description of problem: 'dnf check' on my laptop throws some 70 errors, all of the form 'has missing requires of' - even though there's no actual issue. For example: # dnf check (...) tkimg-1.4-26.fc27.x86_64 has missing requires of tcl(abi) = 8.6 tkimg-1.4-26.fc27.x86_64 has missing requires of tk >= 8.6 xorg-x11-xinit-1.3.4-16.fc28.x86_64 has missing requires of xhost Let's investigate that last: # rpm -q --whatprovides xhost xorg-x11-server-utils-7.7-23.fc27.x86_64 # rpm -q --provides xorg-x11-server-utils-7.7-23.fc27.x86_64 | grep xhost xhost = 1.0.7 # rpm -V xorg-x11-xinit-1.3.4-16.fc28.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-utils-7.7-23.fc27.x86_64 (no issues reported) (Similar issue for 14 things that complain libglibmm-2.4.so.1()(64bit) is missing, even though RPM thinks it's there...) So what's going on here? (Already did an 'rpm --drebuilddb' and 'dnf clean' without changing anything) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dnf-2.6.3-9.fc28.noarch How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Please can you provide an output from dnf: # dnf repoquery --installed --requires xorg-x11-xinit-1.3.4-16.fc28.x86_64 # dnf repoquery --installed --provides xorg-x11-server-utils-7.7-23.fc27.x86_64 # dnf repoquery --installed xorg-x11-server-utils xorg-x11-xinit Just to know what dnf sees. Thanks a lot
Aha. Figured it out. All 70 "missing includes of" errors were because the RPM with the --provides was listed in an exclude= in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf I have about a dozen RPMs listed for various reasons - mostly when I have some local thing that needs tweaking if an RPM gets updated or I have a local patch against an RPM. 'xhost' was collateral damage because xorg-x11-server-* was excluded so it wouldn't accidentally install and collide with the NVidia driver.. So 'dnf --disableexcludes=all check' works. It was just totally non-intuitive that 'check' would look at what was accessible via a repo rather than what was actually installed....
Thanks a lot for information. I create a patch (https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/927) that should solve the issue without ignoring excludes from commandline.
