Description Kamil Páral 2017-09-21 12:20:40 UTC 
Description of problem:
When following
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_upgrade_gnome-software_previous_workstation
a fully updated F25 shows a banner for F26, not F27. (If I try the same on F26, it shows a banner for F27 correctly).

It seems some logic is broken, it should prefer N+2 upgrade before N+1 upgrade.

In ~/.cache/gnome-software/3.22/upgrades/fedora.json I see:

{
  "collections": [
    {
      "allow_retire": false,
      "branchname": "f27",
      "date_created": "2017-09-19 16:44:28",
      "date_updated": "2017-09-19 16:44:28",
      "dist_tag": ".fc27",
      "koji_name": null,
      "name": "Fedora",
      "status": "Under Development",
      "version": "27"
    },
    {
      "allow_retire": false,
      "branchname": "f26",
      "date_created": "2017-02-28 20:24:57",
      "date_updated": "2017-07-11 14:04:59",
      "dist_tag": ".fc26",
      "koji_name": "f26",
      "name": "Fedora",
      "status": "Active",
      "version": "26"
    },
...

The "koji_name" is null, not sure if it matter, otherwise looks valid.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-software-3.22.7-2.fc25.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install a fully updated F25 Workstation
2. follow https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_upgrade_gnome-software_previous_workstation

Comment 3 Kamil Páral 2017-09-21 12:24:06 UTC 
Proposing as a blocker. The criterion says:
"For each one of the release-blocking package sets, it must be possible to successfully complete a direct upgrade from fully updated installations of the last two stable Fedora releases with that package set installed. "
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_27_Beta_Release_Criteria#Upgrade_requirements

The current workaround seems to be to update to F26 first, then to F27.
Comment 4 Kamil Páral 2017-09-21 17:43:43 UTC 
Discussed during blocker review [1]:

RejectedBlocker (beta) - There is an workaround to update to F26 or to use another tool.

[1] https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2017-09-21/

Re-proposing as Final.
Comment 5 Kamil Páral 2017-10-02 16:53:42 UTC 
Discussed at blocker review meeting [1]:

AcceptedBlocker (Final) - This violates "For each one of the release-blocking package sets, it must be possible to successfully complete a direct upgrade from fully updated installations of the last two stable Fedora releases with that package set installed." for gnome-software on F25.

Comment 6 Adam Williamson 2017-10-13 22:15:32 UTC 
Perhaps this may be a case of 'preferring stable upgrades to in-development ones'...does it work if you change the status of Fedora 27 from 'Under Development' to 'Active'?
Comment 7 Adam Williamson 2017-10-13 22:21:17 UTC 
Well, having looked at the code, that doesn't look likely, but I can't honestly see how it could be going wrong. Bit odd. Code is https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-software/tree/src/plugins/gs-plugin-fedora-distro-upgrades.c?id=79e0e64c8985860def644225c92d80200cd9aef9 , if you want to take a look.

No, doesn't help.
Comment 9 Adam Williamson 2017-10-20 00:25:44 UTC 
As the issue here is in F25, this should be a previous release blocker.

gnome-software-3.22.7-4.fc25 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 25. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-c7e6d7da2b
Comment 12 Adam Williamson 2017-10-24 22:22:58 UTC 
Note: I adjusted the F26 update to *not* have 'close bugs on stable' checked, because this bug is specifically about 25 -> 27 not showing up, so we only want this bug to be closed when the update goes stable for 25, not 26.

This update fixes this problem. However, the upgraded system receives a notification that the upgrade failed (even though it hadn't):
