Description Martin Pitt 2020-10-09 07:32:42 UTC
Description of problem:

dnf seems generally broken with ftp:// repos, due to tripping over zchunk errors. I know they are slowly falling out of fashion, but anaconda still tests it (and fails).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

dnf-4.2.23-2.fc33.noarch
libdnf-0.48.0-4.fc33.x86_64
zchunk-libs-1.1.5-3.fc33.x86_64

How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. podman run -it --rm fedora:33
   This is just to get a clean and throwaway environment. You can also do this in a VM, mock, etc.

2. Edit /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo to enable FTP URL:

[fedora]
name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch
baseurl=ftp://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/$basearch/os/

  I tried this with other FTP mirrors, same result.

3. dnf update

Actual results: Fails with

Fedora 33 - x86_64                                                                                      410 kB/s | 2.6 MB     00:06
Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'fedora':

Expected results: dnf can download repository.

Additional info:

This is similar to bug 1851841 and bug 1830512, but more along the lines of "disable zchunk for FTP". I don't have the first idea what zchunk does, but it may depend on http?

This can be worked around with adding zchunk=false to dnf.conf. However, I don't see how to inject that into kickstart [1]?

Comment 1 Daniel Mach 2020-10-12 11:27:43 UTC
Librepo should prioritize http(s) mirrors when zchunk is on.
If no http(s) mirror is available, then librepo probably needs a new code path to download the whole zck file.

Comment 2 amatej 2020-10-29 08:07:00 UTC
I have created a PR which should fix this: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/librepo/pull/206
And here are some tests: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/ci-dnf-stack/pull/903
