Description Davide Repetto 2015-06-23 08:16:37 UTC 
Description of problem:
=======================
I'm supposing that a command with wild cards such as "dnf upgrade dnf\* rpm\* grub\*" should match only packages that are within the scope of the command.
Eg. it should not match packages that are not installed, since there is no point in trying to upgrade packages that are not there to begin with.
At least that is what yum did and what logic would suggest.
Also I suspect that generally matching out of scope has the potential for unwanted side effects.

The current version of dnf however is quite greedy in its matchings and will match any package in the repos.


Version-Release number of selected component:
=============================================
dnf-1.0.1-2.fc22.noarch


How reproducible:
=================
Consistently

Steps to Reproduce:
===================
1. dnf upgrade dnf\* rpm\* grub\*

Actual results:
===============

Thanks for the report. It makes sense to match only installed packages in upgrade command by wildcard.

This should downgrade php packages, not php-versioned packages. Worked well with yum, fails with dnf.

May be this fixed only update, not downgrade, but has been marked as duplicate for my downgrade bug too:

Comment 10 Jan ONDREJ 2015-08-15 05:19:15 UTC 
Somethings changed with dnf-1.1.0, but still don't work:

[root@work ~]# rpm -q php
php-5.6.11-2.fc22.x86_64
dnf-1.1.0-2.fc22.noarch
hawkey-0.6.0-1.fc22.x86_64
[root@work ~]# dnf downgrade php\*

Error: Nothing to do.

Why nothing to do? There are php packages installed and they have downgrades availabe.
Same problem if I try to downgrade dnf\* .

Comment 13 Stuart D Gathman 2015-09-08 16:44:55 UTC 
I haven't tried downgrade, but upgrade has been working as expected since the update.
Comment 14 Jan ONDREJ 2015-09-08 16:57:35 UTC 
I can confirm, that wildcard downgrade with dnf-1.1.1-1.fc22.noarch works as expected. I can't test release 2 of this package, but I think it will work too. Thanks for fix.
