Re: module package exclusion behavior on EL8
Dne 11. 10. 19 v 1:27 Orion Poplawski napsal(a):
I continue to run into strange (at least to me) issues with modules
on EL8. RHEL8 ships a 'rhn-tools' module that ships
only the "koan" package from the cobbler srpm [1]. When this module is
enabled, I cannot install cobbler from my copr -
dnf reports that 'cobbler' is excluded.
Can someone fill me in more on this.? Is this expected? I don't see anything in the
module file (assuming I have the
right module file) that specifically calls out cobbler for exclusion (such as a filter
entry) - so is it just
automatically creating an exclusion for all unshipped packages?
There is very little feedback from dnf - the cobbler package simply disappears:
When package with name FOO exists in a module, then package FOO from normal repos is
masked. This is by design.
I learn it the hard way when we have been asked to implement module_hotfixes in Copr. See
