Description of problem: dnf's autocomplete (in bash) for "dnf remove" seems to lag benind by one transaction. Seen with kernel-core today, twice, and a dnf clean all in between did not help. I don't recall ever seeing this with Fedora 24-25, appears to be new with Fedora 26. I'm going to include my command lines and output below, please compare the results of "rpm -qa" and "dnf list" vs. autocomplete results on "sudo dnf remove". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ sudo rpm -qa | grep dnf python3-dnf-plugin-system-upgrade-2.0.3-1.fc26.noarch python3-dnf-2.7.5-1.fc26.noarch python2-dnf-plugin-system-upgrade-2.0.3-1.fc26.noarch dnf-2.7.5-1.fc26.noarch python3-dnf-plugins-extras-common-2.0.3-1.fc26.noarch libdnf-0.11.1-1.fc26.x86_64 dnf-yum-2.7.5-1.fc26.noarch python2-dnf-plugins-extras-common-2.0.3-1.fc26.noarch dnf-plugins-core-2.1.5-1.fc26.noarch python2-dnf-2.7.5-1.fc26.noarch dnf-conf-2.7.5-1.fc26.noarch python3-dnf-plugins-core-2.1.5-1.fc26.noarch How reproducible: Twice, including after dnf clean all Steps to Reproduce: 1. I wanted to remove some kernel-core packages 2. dnf autoremove autocompleted with bogus (not currently installed) version numbers 3. After removing one of the versions with "dnf remove", the next attempt to autocomplete "dnf remove" gave wrong results again Actual results: dnf remove kernel-core <- autocomplete returns wrong (already uninstalled) version numbers Expected results: dnf remove kernel-core <- autocomplete returning only currently installed version numbers Additional info: $ rpm -qa | grep kernel-core kernel-core-4.13.8-200.fc26.x86_64 kernel-core-4.13.6-200.fc26.x86_64 12:47 kman@fiona:~$ dnf list | grep kernel-core kernel-core.x86_64 4.13.6-200.fc26 @updates-testing kernel-core.x86_64 4.13.8-200.fc26 @updates-testing ^^^ Both rpm and dnf know the system has kernel-core 4.13.6 and 4.13.8 12:47 kman@fiona:~$ sudo dnf remove kernel-core-4.13. kernel-core-4.13.5-200.fc26.x86_64 kernel-core-4.13.6-200.fc26.x86_64 kernel-core-4.13.8-200.fc26.x86_64 ^^^ dnf remove autocompletes with 4.13.5 (not installed) 4.13.6 and 4.13.8 12:47 kman@fiona:~$ sudo dnf remove kernel-core-4.13.6-200.fc26.x86_64 Dependencies resolved. ======================================================================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size ======================================================================================================================== Removing: kernel-core x86_64 4.13.6-200.fc26 @updates-testing 55 M Removing dependent packages: kernel x86_64 4.13.6-200.fc26 @updates-testing 0 kernel-modules x86_64 4.13.6-200.fc26 @updates-testing 24 M kernel-modules-extra x86_64 4.13.6-200.fc26 @updates-testing 2.0 M Transaction Summary ======================================================================================================================== Remove 4 Packages Freed space: 80 M Is this ok [y/N]: y ...

This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '26'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
