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 Adam Hosek 2021-10-07 14:11:33 UTC 
Description of problem:
On RHEL 8.4 “dnf distro-sync” returns misleading information - that a package isn’t installed even though it is.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf-4.4.2-11.el8.noarch

How reproducible:
Install any package from some repository, disable the repository and run dnf distro-sync <package>.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable a repository that contains a package not available in other enabled repositories, for example CentOS Extras repository:
# cat >/etc/yum.repos.d/extras.repo <<EOF
[extras]
name=CentOS Extras $releasever - \$basearch
baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/\$releasever/extras/\$basearch/os/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
EOF

2. Install a package which is available only in the newly enabled repository, for example cpaste from CentOS Extras:
# yum install -y --disablerepo "*" --enablerepo extras cpaste

3. Disable the repository from step 1
# dnf config-manager --set-disabled extras

4. Run dnf distro-sync with the newly installed package:
# yum distro-sync cpaste

Actual results:
# yum distro-sync cpaste

No package cpaste installed.
Error: No packages marked for distribution synchronization.

Expected results:
Just the error is printed, the sentence “No package cpaste installed” isn’t correct. Because:
# rpm -q cpaste
cpaste-1.0.0-3.el8.x86_64

...the cpaste is installed

Comment 1 Jaroslav Mracek 2022-04-26 09:41:14 UTC 
Thank you very much for the report. We would like to improve reports in the next major version of software management that is planned for RHEL 10. Due to other priorities and low severity of the issue I am closing the bug report.
Comment 2 Michal Bocek 2023-09-22 11:23:31 UTC 
I'm reopening the bug to have it revisited because the reason why it was closed - having dnf4 replaced by dnf5 in RHEL10 - is no longer valid. Thank you for considering fixing the issue.
