Description Jan Staněk 2018-11-13 10:24:53 UTC
Created attachment 1505187 [details]
Simple reproducer script

Description of problem:
When the method `remote_location()` is called on dnf.package.Package object retrieved from a dnf.repo.Repo configured with `baseurl`, it fails with `AttributeError: 'VectorString' object has no attribute 'decode'`.

See attached reproducer for details.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf-4.0.4-2.fc29


How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run reproducer script.

Actual results:
Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise AttributeError("'%s' object has no attribute '%s'" % (class_type.__name__, name))
AttributeError: 'VectorString' object has no attribute 'decode'


Expected results:
"Remote location of abcde is <URI>"

Note that "tainted metadata" problem per [bug 1649898 comment 5] is
not addressed with an update to

  dnf-4.0.9-1.fc30.noarch
  dnf-plugins-core-4.0.2-1.fc30.noarch
  python3-dnf-4.0.9-1.fc30.noarch
  python3-dnf-plugins-core-4.0.2-1.fc30.noarch
  dnf-data-4.0.9-1.fc30.noarch
  libdnf-0.22.3-1.fc30.x86_64
  python3-hawkey-0.22.3-1.fc30.x86_64
  python3-libdnf-0.22.3-1.fc30.x86_64
  dnf-utils-4.0.2-1.fc30.noarch

(from
  dnf-4.0.4-2.fc30.noarch
  dnf-plugins-core-4.0.0-2.fc30.noarch
  python3-dnf-4.0.4-2.fc30.noarch

  python3-libdnf-0.22.0-8.fc30.x86_64
  dnf-utils-4.0.0-2.fc30.noarch
)

given that these two bugs are related at all, but since the other
bug was closed as a duplicate of this one, I assume so.

Command "dnf clean metadata" (or waiting for them to expire eventually?)
to the rescue, however that's not the expected user's convenience, IMHO.

Looks like an infrastructure for invalidating/cleaning metadata (e.g.
along the sketched lines) in cases like that is needed independently of
this very instance.
