dnf system upgrade output (124.13 KB, text/plain)

Description Adam Williamson 2017-09-02 19:47:12 UTC 
grub.macros has this:

%define define_legacy_variant()						\
%{expand:%%package %%{1}}						\
Summary:	Bootloader with support for Linux, Multiboot, and more	\
Group:		System Environment/Base					\
Provides:	%{name} = %{evr}					\
Obsoletes:	%{name} < 1:2.02-0					\

I'm pretty sure that -0 is a typo, probably for -10. The result of this is that grub2 packages get skipped from a 'dnf update' if you have grub2-2.02-1 or higher (because it isn't obsoleted, but its dependencies can't be satisfied if the other grub2 packages are updated). If you pass '--best --allowerasing' dnf will decide to go ahead and remove grub2 (that's what --allowerasing does, allows dnf to decide to remove packages whose dependencies can't be satisfied any more), so it's not critical, but it's still wrong.

Ping? Can we fix this? It interferes with all upgrades to F27...
Comment 3 David Hill 2017-09-10 15:36:20 UTC 
 Problem: conflicting requests
  - package abrt-java-connector-1.1.0-8.fc24.x86_64 requires librpm.so.7()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed
  - problem with installed package grub2-pc-1:2.02-10.fc27.x86_64
  - package grub2-pc-1:2.02-10.fc27.x86_64 requires grub2-tools = 1:2.02-10.fc27, but none of the providers can be installed
  - package grub2-pc-1:2.02-14.fc27.x86_64 requires grub2-tools = 1:2.02-14.fc27, but none of the providers can be installed
  - package grub2-tools-1:2.02-10.fc27.x86_64 requires librpm.so.8()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed
  - package grub2-tools-1:2.02-14.fc27.x86_64 requires librpm.so.8()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed
  - cannot install both rpm-libs-4.13.0.1-4.fc26.x86_64 and rpm-libs-4.14.0-0.rc1.2.fc28.x86_64
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstalable packages)

Also note that there is F27 already branched from Rawhide, so it would be nice to provide F27 as well as Rawhide builds ...

dnf system upgrade output

Here's a full log of attempted dnf system upgrade transaction with --allowerasing (needed, otherwise rejected). grub2 is removed, but grub2-pc is not installed.
Comment 7 Kamil Páral 2017-09-11 17:10:00 UTC 
Discussed during blocker review [1]:

AcceptedBlocker (Beta) - even if you can upgrade with --allowerasing, grub2-pc will not be installed after upgrade, violating the "The upgraded system must include all packages that would be present on the system after a default installation from install media" clause of the upgrade criterion

Comment 8 Adam Williamson 2017-09-11 17:26:44 UTC 
Note: there actually is still a problem if you use --allowerasing , because nothing ensures grub2-pc (or grub2-ppc64 or whatever, the replacement package) gets installed in this case. The upgrade completes, and grub2 goes away, but nothing replaces it.
