Description of problem: dnf fails to erase two installed packages, while yum has no problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dnf-0.2.22-1.git97180b8.fc18.noarch.rpm hawkey-0.3.8-1.git046ab1c.fc18.x86_64.rpm How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make /etc/dnf/dnf.conf look like this: [main] keepcache=1 debuglevel=2 exactarch=1 obsoletes=1 gpgcheck=1 plugins=0 installonly_limit=3 multilib_policy=best clean_requirements_on_remove=true exclude=cobbler,koan 2. Install some locally built RPMs, cobbler and koan in my case 3. Try to erase them: dnf erase cobbler koan Actual results: Setting up Remove Process No Packages marked for removal Expected results: The packages should be removed Additional info: [root@hermes ~]# cat /etc/yum.conf [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum/$basearch/$releasever keepcache=1 debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log exactarch=1 obsoletes=1 gpgcheck=1 plugins=1 installonly_limit=3 exclude=cobbler,koan [root@hermes ~]# yum erase cobbler koan Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, fastestmirror, presto, priorities, : protectbase Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package cobbler.noarch 0:2.3.1-1.fc18 will be erased ---> Package koan.noarch 0:2.3.1-1.fc18 will be erased --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ================================================================================ Removing: cobbler noarch 2.3.1-1.fc18 installed 2.3 M koan noarch 2.3.1-1.fc18 installed 378 k Transaction Summary ================================================================================ Remove 2 Packages Installed size: 2.7 M Is this ok [y/N]:
Hmmm, odd. Can you attach the two packages to thiz bugzilla please? You installed these two packages with 'dnf install kobbler.. .rpm coan.. .rpm', yes?
I might have installed those packages with yum, but I've retested everything with dnf at your request.

If I temporary disable "exclude=cobbler,koan", dnf asks me if I want to remove those packages.
As we found out on IRC yesterday, this is because DNF extends the semantics of excludes to all operations, erase included (unlike yum where excludes only apply to installs and upgrades). This is documented in commit c2ec957, dnf-0.3.2: http://akozumpl.github.com/dnf/cli_vs_yum.html#excludes-and-repo-excludes-apply-to-all-operations While at it I found out that --disableexcludes and more granular per-repo excludes don't work in DNF at all. This is addressed by commit 5cb7f5e. Thanks again for the report.
