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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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.
Still not fixed in FC-27. (Commenting line "reposdir=" let dnf works, but if line is in place, it crashes) See below: $ cat /tmp/test.conf [main] cachedir=/var/cache/dnf debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yume.log pkgpolicy=newest tolerant=1 exactarch=1 retries=20 obsoletes=1 reposdir= gpgcheck=0 plugins=1 [oscar_fc-27-x86_64] name=fc-27-x86_64 package repository baseurl=file:/tftpboot/oscar/fc-27-x86_64 [unstable_fc-27-x86_64] name=fc-27-x86_64 package repository baseurl=http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/repos/unstable/fc-27-x86_64 [27_x86_64] name=x86_64 package repository baseurl=https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/27/x86_64 [x86_64_os] name=os package repository baseurl=https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/27/Everything/x86_64/os $ sudo dnf -c /tmp/test.conf list all Traceback (most recent call last): File "/bin/dnf", line 58, in <module> main.user_main(sys.argv[1:], exit_code=True) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/dnf/cli/main.py", line 179, in user_main errcode = main(args) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/dnf/cli/main.py", line 64, in main return _main(base, args, cli_class, option_parser_class) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/dnf/cli/main.py", line 95, in _main cli.configure(list(map(ucd, args)), option_parser()) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/dnf/cli/cli.py", line 818, in configure self._read_conf_file(opts.releasever) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/dnf/cli/cli.py", line 912, in _read_conf_file conf._search_inside_installroot('reposdir') File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/dnf/conf/config.py", line 812, in _search_inside_installroot val.lstrip('/'))): AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'lstrip' $ rpm -q dnf dnf-2.7.5-2.fc27.noarch
The problem is already fixed in upstream and will be released into rawhide and later on in F28 with dnf-3.0
