Description Jakub Filak 2015-01-22 14:28:22 UTC
Description of problem:
I am working on a script for downloading of custom packages identified by file names. When I call dnf.Base.fill_sack() I get the following exception:

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dnf/base.py", line 216, in fill_sack
    self._sack.load_system_repo(build_cache=True)
IOError: Failed writing the cache.

Radek Holy advised me to set base.conf.cachedir to a pathe where I have write rights.

I think DNF should configure base.conf.cachedir on its own, because I as an application developer don't want to care about such things. Aas a bonus, all DNF API consumers would use the same cache.

Comment 2 Jakub Filak 2015-02-02 09:04:30 UTC
Follow-up: I set base.conf.cachedir to '/var/tmp/jfilak_dnf_donwloader/' and I got the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "dnf_debuginfo.py", line 38, in <module>
    download_debuginfo()
  File "dnf_debuginfo.py", line 26, in download_debuginfo

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dnf/base.py", line 222, in fill_sack
    self._add_repo_to_sack(r.id)

    mkdir(name, mode)
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/cache/dnf/updates-debuginfo'


Is there something wrong on these lines?
  base.conf.cachedir = "/var/tmp/jfilak_dnf_donwloader"
  base.fill_sack()

Yes, the function calls are in a bad order.

All my calls:
  base.read_all_repos()
  base.conf.cachedir = "/var/tmp/jfilak_dnf_donwloader"
  base.fill_sack()

The correct order:
  base.conf.cachedir = "/var/tmp/jfilak_dnf_donwloader"
  base.read_all_repos()
  base.fill_sack()


Thank you, Radek Holy!
