The old syntax was restored in dnf-2.5.1-1.fc26 or before, so it was not the solution.
It is still hanging and seen on 2 machines and it is not reproducible every time it runs:
systemctl status dnf-makecache
● dnf-makecache.service - dnf makecache
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/dnf-makecache.service; static; vendor
Active: activating (start) since Sun 2017-07-16 15:01:13 CEST; 1h 4min ago
Main PID: 27522 (dnf)
Tasks: 1 (limit: 4915)
CGroup: /system.slice/dnf-makecache.service
└─27522 /usr/libexec/system-python /usr/bin/dnf makecache --timer
Is should have a timeout so it don't block yumex-dnf in case of an issue.
I see this as well on several Fedora 25 machines. According to "strace -f -p $PID" (with $PID being the pid that "systemctl status dnf-makecache" gives me), it hangs with FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE. A first "systemctl restart dnf-makecache", cancelled by Ctrl+C after a few seconds, and then followed by a second "systemctl restart dnf-makecache", temporarily fixes the problem until the corresponding systemd timer triggers the time. Just to be complete: the affected oackage version on my Fedora 25 machines is dnf 0:1.1.10-6.fc25. Though I have installed these machines quite recently so I don't know if previous versions of the dnf package are affected as well. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1470352 *** |
