Comment 1 Stephen Gallagher 2018-08-30 15:34:08 UTC
Is this a side-effect of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1623128 ?

Comment 2 Daniel Mach 2018-09-24 07:59:09 UTC
Mikolaj,
could you re-test the behavior on F29 with dnf >= 3.5.1?
The overall behavior has improved and we'd like to understand if the original report is still valid.

Comment 3 Mikolaj Izdebski 2018-09-24 11:28:39 UTC
This problem it is still reproducible on F29 with dnf-3.5.1-1.fc29.noarch
Module can't be removed when modular repos are disabled.

Comment 5 Jaroslav Mracek 2018-10-03 12:34:34 UTC
The problem should be fixed by storing additional information in "/etc/dnf/modules.d/*.module".

At the present time we stored
profiles=<profile_name>,<profile_name>

I would suggest to replaced it with for example:
installed=<profile_name>:<stream>/<pkg_name>/<pkg_name>,<profile_name>:<stream>/<pkg_name>/<pkg_name>

It will provide all required information to solve the issue. But such a change will require approve because this is significant change in modular design.

What do you think?

Comment 6 Ben Cotton 2019-05-02 20:45:33 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life.
On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for
Fedora 28. 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that are no longer maintained.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 '28'.

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 28 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.

Comment 16 Sven Kieske 2020-05-27 14:44:41 UTC
Sorry, but this does not seem to be fixed!

I want to upgrade from fedora 30 to 31, as 30 is now EOL.

So I go by the docs and want to upgrade:

sudo dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=31 
[..]
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'libdnf::ModulePackageContainer::EnableMultipleStreamsException'
  what():  Cannot enable multiple streams for module 'maven'
[1]    4896 abort      sudo dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=31

So I tried to remove the module:

udo dnf remove maven
No match for argument: maven
No packages marked for removal.
Abhängigkeiten sind aufgelöst.
Nothing to do.
Complete!

so I search, how to remove modules:

Comment 17 Sven Kieske 2020-05-27 14:54:28 UTC
Hi,

I found a workaround:

not working:

sudo dnf module remove maven:3.5/default
Letzte Prüfung auf abgelaufene Metadaten: vor 0:25:32 am Mi 27 Mai 2020 16:26:00 CEST.
Unable to match profile in argument maven:3.5/default
Abhängigkeiten sind aufgelöst.
Nothing to do.
Complete!

so I checked why it can't match the profile:

cat /etc/dnf/modules.d/maven.module                                                                                                                                                        
[maven]
name=maven
stream=3.5
profiles=
state=enabled

so I added "default" to the profile in the maven.module file and then it works:

sudo dnf module remove maven:3.5/default

This is by far the worst user experience I got from a fedora upgrade in many years, to say the least.

Sorry for the very late response.
We did eventually fix the system upgrade issue in dnf-plugins-extras-4.0.8-5.fc30. For fedora 30 its only in updates-testing repo.

I know this is probably not relevant to you anymore but at least it should be working in newer fedoras.
