Hide Forgot
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:87.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/87.0 Build Identifier: If you have a rawhide kernel installed (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RawhideKernelNodebug) and try to run "sudo dnf autoremove" it wants to remove all "kernel-modules-extra" packages. Reproducible: Happens sometimes, but not always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a rawhide kernel: "sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo=http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/rawhide-kernel-nodebug/fedora-rawhide-kernel-nodebug.repo" "sudo dnf update" 2. Try to run "sudo dnf autoremove" 3. See that dnf prompts you to remove all "kernel-modules-extra" packages that are installed Actual Results: If you press "y" it removes all the "kernel-modules-extra" packages. Expected Results: dnf autoremove shouldn't have detected the "kernel-modules-extra" packages. I have tested this on my own machine and inside a VM. Both had the same issue.
I got the latest stable kernel update on my machine and updated. I got the same issue but when I tried to update my VM I couldn't reproduce it so I changed the "Reproducible" status to "Happens sometimes, but not always.". At this point I am afraid I don't know the root cause of this so I am going to explain in what state my system is, so it may help. Since I figured out I have a kernel issue on the latest versions I decided to use an older kernel and try to use a RC kernel, so that's where it all started. I started to play with kernels update/remove etc. and I noticed this issue. When I got the latest stable kernel update today running "sudo dnf autoremove" wanted to remove "kernel-modules-extra" again. I installed the rawhide kernel again and now dnf autoremove doesn't want to remove "kernel-modules-extra" anymore. I am not sure if I will see this issue again in the next kernel update. One more thing I want to add here is I did run "sudo rpm --rebuilddb" on the VM before today's latest stable kernel update could that explain why I couldn't reproduce this on the VM meanwhile I could on my main system?
Please could you provide an output from: dnf repoquery 'kernel*' --qf '%{name}-%{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}.%{arch} %{reason}' --installed dnf repoquery --whatrequires 'kernel-modules-extra' --installed
Output from "dnf repoquery 'kernel*' --qf '%{name}-%{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}.%{arch} %{reason}' --installed": kernel-0:5.10.12-200.fc33.x86_64 user kernel-0:5.10.8-200.fc33.x86_64 user kernel-0:5.11.0-0.rc6.141.fc34.x86_64 user kernel-core-0:5.10.12-200.fc33.x86_64 user kernel-core-0:5.10.8-200.fc33.x86_64 user kernel-core-0:5.11.0-0.rc6.141.fc34.x86_64 user kernel-headers-0:5.10.11-200.fc33.x86_64 dependency kernel-modules-0:5.10.12-200.fc33.x86_64 user kernel-modules-0:5.10.8-200.fc33.x86_64 user kernel-modules-0:5.11.0-0.rc6.141.fc34.x86_64 user kernel-modules-extra-0:5.10.12-200.fc33.x86_64 user kernel-modules-extra-0:5.10.8-200.fc33.x86_64 user kernel-modules-extra-0:5.11.0-0.rc6.141.fc34.x86_64 user Output from "dnf repoquery --whatrequires 'kernel-modules-extra' --installed": (There is no output) One thing I want to add is when I was running these commands "sudo dnf autoremove" don't wanted to uninstall "kernel-modules-extra" I saved those commands and next time when I can reproduce that "sudo dnf autoremove" wants to remove "kernel-modules-extra" I will share output from that scenario too.
I removed some of my kernels and downgraded to latest stable and could reproduce it. Output from "dnf repoquery 'kernel*' --qf '%{name}-%{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}.%{arch} %{reason}' --installed": kernel-0:5.10.11-200.fc33.x86_64 dependency kernel-0:5.10.8-200.fc33.x86_64 dependency kernel-core-0:5.10.11-200.fc33.x86_64 dependency kernel-core-0:5.10.8-200.fc33.x86_64 dependency kernel-headers-0:5.10.11-200.fc33.x86_64 dependency kernel-modules-0:5.10.11-200.fc33.x86_64 dependency kernel-modules-0:5.10.8-200.fc33.x86_64 dependency kernel-modules-extra-0:5.10.11-200.fc33.x86_64 dependency kernel-modules-extra-0:5.10.8-200.fc33.x86_64 dependency Output from "dnf repoquery --whatrequires 'kernel-modules-extra' --installed": (Still here is no output) Here is an image: https://i.imgur.com/VrLLaPp.png (can see all the commands + sudo dnf autoremove) https://i.vgy.me/qJllNS.png (alternative image link in case one hoster as an issue)
Please could you provide all steps that you performed to get from state from commend 3 to state in comment 4? Minimal reproducer will be very helpful. To get to state in comment 3 you can run `dnf mark install kernel kernel-core kernel-modules-extra kernel-modules`
I can confirm that there is an issue in dnf, but a different one that was reported. When kernels are user installed and I remove one of kernels, the all remaining have reason unknown. But I am unable to reproduce switch from user to dependency reason.
I could finally reproduce! So the issue is that when you are in unknown state and then install "sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo=http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/rawhide-kernel-nodebug/fedora-rawhide-kernel-nodebug.repo" nodebug repository and run "sudo dnf upgrade" it will install the kernel and when you run "dnf repoquery 'kernel*' --qf '%{name}-%{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}.%{arch} %{reason}' --installed" you then should be in the dependency state. At that point running "sudo dnf autoremove" will try to uninstall "kernel-modules-extra" packages. A more step by step: 1) My current state: kernel-0:5.10.11-200.fc33.x86_64 user kernel-0:5.10.8-200.fc33.x86_64 user kernel-0:5.11.0-0.rc6.141.fc34.x86_64 user kernel-core-0:5.10.11-200.fc33.x86_64 user kernel-core-0:5.10.8-200.fc33.x86_64 user kernel-core-0:5.11.0-0.rc6.141.fc34.x86_64 user kernel-headers-0:5.10.11-200.fc33.x86_64 dependency kernel-modules-0:5.10.11-200.fc33.x86_64 user kernel-modules-0:5.10.8-200.fc33.x86_64 user kernel-modules-0:5.11.0-0.rc6.141.fc34.x86_64 user kernel-modules-extra-0:5.10.11-200.fc33.x86_64 user kernel-modules-extra-0:5.10.8-200.fc33.x86_64 user kernel-modules-extra-0:5.11.0-0.rc6.141.fc34.x86_64 user 2) "sudo dnf remove kernel-core-5.11.0-0.rc6.141.fc34.x86_64" (this was a locally installed one) 3) Removing that locally installed kernel will make you fall into unknown state. kernel-0:5.10.11-200.fc33.x86_64 unknown kernel-0:5.10.8-200.fc33.x86_64 unknown kernel-core-0:5.10.11-200.fc33.x86_64 unknown kernel-core-0:5.10.8-200.fc33.x86_64 unknown kernel-headers-0:5.10.11-200.fc33.x86_64 dependency kernel-modules-0:5.10.11-200.fc33.x86_64 unknown kernel-modules-0:5.10.8-200.fc33.x86_64 unknown kernel-modules-extra-0:5.10.11-200.fc33.x86_64 unknown kernel-modules-extra-0:5.10.8-200.fc33.x86_64 unknown 4) "sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo=http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/rawhide-kernel-nodebug/fedora-rawhide-kernel-nodebug.repo" and "sudo dnf upgrade" (install the kernel) 5) After installation of the nodebug kernel from the repository you should be in the dependency state. kernel-0:5.10.11-200.fc33.x86_64 dependency kernel-0:5.10.8-200.fc33.x86_64 dependency kernel-0:5.11.0-0.rc6.141.fc34.x86_64 dependency kernel-core-0:5.10.11-200.fc33.x86_64 dependency kernel-core-0:5.10.8-200.fc33.x86_64 dependency kernel-core-0:5.11.0-0.rc6.141.fc34.x86_64 dependency kernel-headers-0:5.10.11-200.fc33.x86_64 dependency kernel-modules-0:5.10.11-200.fc33.x86_64 dependency kernel-modules-0:5.10.8-200.fc33.x86_64 dependency kernel-modules-0:5.11.0-0.rc6.141.fc34.x86_64 dependency kernel-modules-extra-0:5.10.11-200.fc33.x86_64 dependency kernel-modules-extra-0:5.10.8-200.fc33.x86_64 dependency kernel-modules-extra-0:5.11.0-0.rc6.141.fc34.x86_64 dependency 6) Try to run "sudo dnf autoremove" and see that it will try to remove "kernel-modules-extra" Hope this one helps. Thanks.
Thanks a lot for detail information. I can reproduce it and we are looking for a solution.
I create a patch that helps with the problem (https://github.com/rpm-software-management/ci-dnf-stack/pull/958). It prevents reason change from unknown to dependency, therefore the issue with autoremove will disappear. But there is still a problem with change from user to unknown. Tests: rpm-software-management/ci-dnf-stack#958
Also requires: Requires: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf#1728
I forget to add a reference for main part of the patch - https://github.com/rpm-software-management/libdnf/pull/1141
