Created attachment 1857222 [details] Output of dnf shell: remove --duplicates, upgrade, run Description of problem: I have freshly installed Fedora 25 Cinnamon spin. Added and configured non-trivial amount of packages. And then upgraded system. Repeatively upgrade never finishes on cleanup of some packages. It seems it fails in particular package - mint-y-icons-1.5.8-2.fc35.noarch. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dnf-4.9.0-1.fc35.noarch How reproducible: Always (it seems so) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Cinamon spin 2. (maybe some steps?) 3. Upgrade system Actual results: dnf gets stuck on cleanup Expected results: Finish Additional info: dnf cannot be killed other than with -9. Since I ended up with system with duplicate packages I have tried to use following: # dnf shell > remove --duplicates > upgrade > run (a lot of output in attachment) ends with: Obsoleting : mint-y-icons-1.5.8-2.fc35.noarch 152/372 warning: file /usr/share/icons/Mint-Y/actions/16/window-restore-symbolic.svg: remove failed: No such file or directory warning: file /usr/share/icons/Mint-Y/actions/16/window-restore-symbolic-rtl.svg: remove failed: No such file or directory warning: file /usr/share/icons/Mint-Y/actions/16/window-minimize-symbolic.svg: remove failed: No such file or directory warning: file /usr/share/icons/Mint-Y/actions/16/window-maximize-symbolic.svg: remove failed: No such file or directory warning: file /usr/share/icons/Mint-Y/actions/16/window-maximize-symbolic-rtl.svg: remove failed: No such file or directory warning: file /usr/share/icons/Mint-Y/actions/16/window-close-symbolic.svg: remove failed: No such file or directory warning: file /usr/share/icons/Mint-Y-Dark/actions/16/window-restore-symbolic.svg: remove failed: No such file or directory warning: file /usr/share/icons/Mint-Y-Dark/actions/16/window-restore-symbolic-rtl.svg: remove failed: No such file or directory warning: file /usr/share/icons/Mint-Y-Dark/actions/16/window-minimize-symbolic.svg: remove failed: No such file or directory warning: file /usr/share/icons/Mint-Y-Dark/actions/16/window-maximize-symbolic.svg: remove failed: No such file or directory warning: file /usr/share/icons/Mint-Y-Dark/actions/16/window-maximize-symbolic-rtl.svg: remove failed: No such file or directory warning: file /usr/share/icons/Mint-Y-Dark/actions/16/window-close-symbolic.svg: remove failed: No such file or directory
Created attachment 1857223 [details] strace of dnf and its forks I have added also strace where I see repeated pattern of preread.
Created attachment 1857426 [details] output of dnf update -y This error sounded really scatchy as I haven't seen this on other computer with similar packageset. I suspected SSD have been having some issues (e.g. it has 100 Bad_Block_Count as reported by smartctl). I was able to reproduce this with fresh new SSD though. Cleanup of that package took at least 3 minutes when I gave up and killed it. I have collected strace and output data like this: strace -f -o /mnt/strace_dnf_update.txt -s 1000 nice dnf upgrade -y | tee /mnt/dnf_upgrade_output.txt I'm attaching that output. strace is too big though - around 30GB - and I'm not sure how helpful that would be for you. Let me know if you would like to somehow get gist of it.
Couple of tests later ... I was able to narrow the problem to upgrade of mint-y-icons: $ dnf upgrade -y -x mint-icons upgrades just fine. Followed by: $ dnf upgrade -y which upgrades mint-icons as well but cleanup makes dnf seemingly stuck. It turned out that this could take somewhere between half an hour and hour and it in the end finishes.
