Description David H. Gutteridge 2018-11-29 02:12:40 UTC
Description of problem:
The dnf versionlock plugin will accept package names to add in NEVRA forms which it is then unable to delete when receiving those same forms. For example:

[disciple@arcusxiii ~]$ sudo dnf versionlock add firefox-0:63.0.3-2.fc29
Last metadata expiration check: 0:12:04 ago on Wed 28 Nov 2018 08:30:29 PM EST.
Adding versionlock on: firefox-0:63.0.3-2.fc29.*
[disciple@arcusxiii ~]$ sudo dnf versionlock delete firefox-0:63.0.3-2.fc29
Last metadata expiration check: 0:12:14 ago on Wed 28 Nov 2018 08:30:29 PM EST.
[disciple@arcusxiii ~]$ sudo dnf versionlock list
Last metadata expiration check: 0:12:22 ago on Wed 28 Nov 2018 08:30:29 PM EST.
firefox-0:63.0.3-2.fc29.*

(This is kind of a contrived example, I originally stumbled across this with a different package, in the form "kopete-0:17.08.3-1.fc27.1", which is a bit more exotic because of the extra ".1" at the end of its release. I ended up using that form as the complete NEVRA to supply, and then was confused when it wouldn't delete with that same form.)

This is conceptually similar to -- but distinct from -- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1643676, as the code path is different. (The matching criteria for deletions is determined quite differently, which I assume is by necessity.)

The fix is trivial, I will submit it as a GitHub pull up request. (The workaround is also trivial, of course, just change the NEVRA form supplied. But this should be fixed, anyway.)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf-plugins-core 4.0.2

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
See above.

Comment 1 David H. Gutteridge 2018-11-29 02:21:34 UTC
Fix submitted as https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf-plugins-core/pull/308

(This adds two more possible NEVRA forms, which match accepted versions noted in the main dnf man page's "Specifying Packages" section.)
