RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Marco Patalano 2019-12-16 20:00:52 UTC 
Description of problem: As part of an env_setup script, one of our automation jobs runs the following command to check for dependencies prior to upgrading the kernel:

dnf deplist http://download-node-02.eng.bos.redhat.com/brewroot/packages/kernel/4.18.0/165.el8/x86_64/kernel-4.18.0-165.el8.x86_64.rpm | grep "dependency:" | awk '{print$2"-"$4}'
Last metadata expiration check: 0:29:56 ago on Mon 16 Dec 2019 09:42:32 AM EST.

In this particular case, no dependencies are being returned. As a result, when the script proceeds to install the kernel, it is failing with the following:

Error: 
 Problem 1: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides linux-firmware >= 20191202-96.gite8a0f4c9 needed by kernel-core-4.18.0-165.el8.x86_64

Using rpm -qp, I can see the linux-firmware dependency:

# rpm -qp --requires http://download-node-02.eng.bos.redhat.com/brewroot/packages/kernel/4.18.0/165.el8/x86_64/kernel-core-4.18.0-165.el8.x86_64.rpm

Just ran a quick test on my RHEL-7.5 PC and get the following with yum deplist:

$ yum deplist http://download-node-02.eng.bos.redhat.com/brewroot/packages/kernel/4.18.0/165.el8/x86_64/kernel-core-4.18.0-165.el8.x86_64.rpm

Comment 3 Daniel Mach 2019-12-19 13:23:19 UTC 
The problem is that dnf deplist doesn't download the package to inspect and it always exists with 0:

$ dnf deplist http://download-node-02.eng.bos.redhat.com/brewroot/packages/kernel/4.18.0/165.el8/x86_64/kernel-4.18.0-165.el8.x86_64.rpm
$ echo $?
0

The expected behavior is:
$ dnf deplist http://download-node-02.eng.bos.redhat.com/brewroot/packages/kernel/4.18.0/165.el8/x86_64/kernel-4.18.0-165.el8.x86_64.rpm
package: kernel-4.18.0-165.el8.x86_64
  dependency: kernel-core-uname-r = 4.18.0-165.el8.x86_64
   provider: kernel-core-4.18.0-165.el8.x86_64
  dependency: kernel-modules-uname-r = 4.18.0-165.el8.x86_64
   provider: kernel-modules-4.18.0-165.el8.x86_64
$ echo $?
0

or

$ dnf deplist http://example.com/does-not-exist
Error: Could not download http://example.com/does-not-exist
$ echo $?
1 (or any other non-zero exit code)
Comment 4 Jaroslav Mracek 2020-01-03 11:02:56 UTC 
I create a patch that adds support of local packages for repoquery command (https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/1564). The `deplist` command is only alias for `yum repoquery --deplist`.

Tests: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/ci-dnf-stack/pull/747
