Description of problem: Can't do a dnf update. I've done successful 'dnf distrosync' and 'dnf autoremove' and 'dnf clean all' but 'dnf update' fails with this error every time, not sure why. I do not have lua-libs-5.4.2-2.fc34.i686 installed so I don't know why dnf says it's a problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ rpm -qa | grep lua lua-libs-5.4.2-2.fc34.x86_64 lua-5.4.2-2.fc34.x86_64 lua-posix-35.0-3.fc34.x86_64 mod_lua-2.4.46-10.fc34.x86_64 lua-srpm-macros-1-4.fc34.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf update 2. 3.

This could be a dnf local plugin bug?
If I disable the dnf local plugin: ]$ sudo dnf update Last metadata expiration check: 0:19:51 ago on Sat 01 May 2021 02:00:08 PM MDT. Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. Complete! Switching to dnf.
Reenable the local plugin, and enable u-t. sudo dnf update --enablerepo=updates-testing Fedora 34 - x86_64 - Test Updates 2.9 MB/s | 8.1 MB 00:02 Last metadata expiration check: 0:00:06 ago on Sat 01 May 2021 02:22:13 PM MDT.

Nope. lua and lua-libs are both present in the _dnf_local repo directory, but dnf update refuses to use the lua there. $ find repodir/ -name lua* repodir/lua-libs-5.4.3-1.fc34.x86_64.rpm repodir/lua-libs-5.4.2-2.fc34.x86_64.rpm repodir/lua-5.4.3-1.fc34.x86_64.rpm $ sudo dnf reinstall lua lua-libs Last metadata expiration check: 0:29:50 ago on Sat 01 May 2021 02:00:08 PM MDT.

The inferior architecture is dnf trying to find anything that could fix the problem you have and letting you know the one package it did find which would replace it is of the wrong architecture. The real issue (and probably what the title for this bug should be) is that the _dnf_local (whatever plugin or tool causes that *1*) is not seeing repodir/lua-5.4.3-1.fc34.x86_64.rpm for some reason. I would check to see if it has the right labels, permissions or is actually a good RPM file. Then I would add debugging to the dnf command to see if it gives any clues why it isn't adding that to the repository mix. *1* I am unfamiliar with that name showing up in a dnf command so not sure how that happens.
Thank you very much for the report. The issue is related to dnf-plugin-local that keeps cached packages. In case that the cached rpms creates a difficulty for upgrade, because cached rpm has the highest version but there is not a package with the same version for secondary architecture. The issue can be resolved by uninstalling of dnf-plugin-local, disable of repository _dnf_local, disable of dnf-plugin-local plugin in configuration (in `/etc/dnf/plugins/local.conf` in section [main] add line `enabled = false`) or commandline (--disableplugin). I know that the behaviour is not nice but there is no way how to improve it in the plugin. The plugin cannot store all packages just for an possible requirement in the future. It only stores packages installed on the system.
