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.

We will need more data to find out what's going on in this issue. Can you please provide solver debug data?

1. make sure there is no debugdata directory in your working directory
2. run dnf upgrade --debugsolver
3. in your working directory should be created debugdata directory. Please can you share its content with us?

Also full output of failing `dnf upgrade` command might help.
Thanks.
Comment 2 Marek Blaha 2020-05-06 12:19:43 UTC 
The only way I was able to reproduce similar behaviour is when trying to upgrade criu from local repository with modular package but no modular metadata:

1. install non-modular criu from AppStream repository
# dnf install criu
# dnf list criu
criu.x86_64                                             3.12-9.el8                                              @AppStream

2. download modular criu from `container-tools:2.0` module from Stream-AppStream repo:
# dnf --setopt=*.module_hotfixes=1 --repoid=Stream-AppStream download criu
criu-3.12-9.module_el8.1.0+292+7d7c672e.x86_64.rpm

3. create local repository containing this downloaded criu:
# createrepo_c .

4. try to update criu using this local repository (which contains modular package but no modular metadata). Note, that you have to disable Stream-AppStream repo which contains modular metadata for the criu package:
# dnf --repofrompath=tmp,. --disablerepo=Stream-AppStream update criu
Added tmp repo from .

Error: No available modular metadata for modular package


So the question is from what repository are you downloading 'criu-3.12-9.module_el8.1.0+294+988780c8.x86_64' package. It looks like the package is modular but is located in non-modular repository. Running this (without the `--repofrompath=tmp,.` part) command might help:

# dnf --repofrompath=tmp,. --disablerepo=Stream-AppStream repoquery criu --queryformat="%{name}-%{evr}.%{arch} %{repoid}"
Added tmp repo from .
