Description of problem: When a rpm package is installed through gnome-software, its dependencies are wrongly marked as userinstalled. This prevents the dependencies from being removed when uninstalling the package later. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-software-3.36.0-1.fc32 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use gnome-software to install an app that pulls dependencies in (example: keepass, which requires mono) 2. Check the list of user installed packages : dnf repoquery --userinstalled Actual results: The list of user installed packages contains the installed app along with its dependencies. Expected results: The list of user installed packages should contain the installed app, not its dependencies. Additional info: Now when uninstalling the app, the dependencies won't be removed. Even with dnf autoremove.
Same bug on a fresh fedora 33 install. 1. Count userinstalled packages : > $ dnf repoquery --userinstalled |wc -l > 13 2. Install scribus (for example) from gnome-software 3. Count userinstalled packages : > $ dnf repoquery --userinstalled |wc -l > 25 This should be 14.
This also affects Fedora 34 Beta as well. The bug is triggered multiple times when installing updates via gnome-software. Depending on the number of updates, the impact on the list of user installed packages can be significant and requires a lot of cleanup work with dnf mark remove.
This package has changed maintainer in Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component.
Reported upstream in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/-/issues/1238
Packages are installed through PackageKit. I do not see any API in the PkTask to define whether the packages should be installed as a user or system, the less anything about the dependencies. I'm moving this to the PackageKit for further investigation.
