We noticed this when building images in mkosi, where 'dnf5 install systemd' would fail, because systemd.rpm has Requires:/usr/bin/getfacl. It's easy to show with any install command: $ sudo dnf5 install /usr/sbin/zfs Updating and loading repositories: Fedora - Rawhide - Developmental packages for the next Fedora release 100% | 3.0 MiB/s | 56.8 MiB | 00m19s ... This is the full filepath metadata. But this path is "allowlisted" to be in primary metadata: $ unzck -c /var/cache/dnf/rawhide-2d95c80a1fa0a67d/repodata/1f05eb1a7a3e817da09b554f3199980b5bbfb7cca4636e0e3490c628963d1885-primary.xml.zck|grep '<file>/usr/sbin/zfs<' <file>/usr/sbin/zfs</file> Paths that are allow-listed must be special-cased. I suspect that this issue is caused by the recent changes to be more informative when (non-allowlisted) file dependencies are used. Reproducible: Always
I believe this is a problem of our simple mechanism that automatically requests filelists metadata for any filepath specs: "pattern[0] == '/' || (pattern[0] == '*' && pattern[1] == '/');". This should be addressed also for dnf4.
Ping this has been open for more than a year and should be a trivial thing to fix
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 42 development cycle. Changing version to 42.
