Description of problem: Trying selector forms N:S:V:C and N:S:V:C:A, dnf completely ignores the context field. While this field isn't really used at this point in practice, to make the current implementation future proof, dnf should respect the selector and attempt to install the specific NSVC. If there's none (likely at this point), it should complain about the NSVC not being available rather than installing some other NSVC, ignoring the specific input. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dnf-2.7.5-9.fc28.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Fedora 28 with fedora-repos-modular, updates, and latest dnf 2. Attempt to install module nodejs:8:20180308143646 specifying a context that does not exist Actual results: dnf checks that the specified context is a valid hexadecimal number, but otherwise ignores it.
