dnf mystery

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

I need a second pair of eye here.  I think I am typo'ing something

On the third server, I am trying to upgrade xrdp to match the
first two

On two Fedora 30 servers,

$ rpm -qa xrdp
     xrdp-0.9.10-1.fc30.x86_64

$ dnf whatprovides xrdp
     ...
     xrdp-1:0.9.10-1.fc30.x86_64 : Open source remote desktop
         protocol     (RDP) server
     Repo        : @System
     Matched from:
     Provide    : xrdp = 1:0.9.10-1.fc30

But on a third, I get

# cat /etc/redhat-release
     Fedora release 30 (Thirty)

# rpm -qa xrdp
     xrdp-0.9.2-12.fc26.x86_64

# dnf --enablerepo=* whatprovides xrdp
     Last metadata expiration check: 0:00:47 ago on Fri 07
         Jun 2019     12:31:00 PM PDT.
     Error: No Matches found

# dnf --enablerepo=* upgrade xrdp
     Last metadata expiration check: 0:07:40 ago on Fri 07 Jun
         2019 12:31:00 PM PDT.
     No match for argument: xrdp
     Error: No packages marked for upgrade.

# dnf --enablerepo=* install xrdp
     Last metadata expiration check: 0:07:59 ago on Fri 07
        Jun 2019 12:31:00 PM PDT.
     No match for argument: xrdp
     Error: Unable to find a match

Now it gets even weirder.  I download xrdp from the repo:

# dnf install xrdp-1:0.9.10-1.fc30.x86_64
     Last metadata expiration check: 0:12:22 ago on Fri 07 Jun 2019 
12:30:06 PM PDT.
     No match for argument: xrdp-1:0.9.10-1.fc30.x86_64
     Error: Unable to find a match

This worked:

# rpm -Uvh xrdp-selinux-0.9.10-1.fc30.x86_64.rpm 
xrdp-0.9.10-1.fc30.x86_64.rpm
     ...Cleaning up / removing...
     3:xrdp-1:0.9.2-12.fc26 [100%]

# rpm -qa xrdp
     xrdp-0.9.10-1.fc30.x86_64

I am really confused!

Both should work the same in this instance.

It is just that dnf does not think xrdp exists
either on the repos or locally!   ????????????????????

The only reason I can image is that xrdp was added to exclude list.
Every .repo file can have exclude line, so grep dnf directory for it:
sudo grep -r 'xclude' /etc/dnf/

You called it!

$ grep -r 'xclude' /etc/dnf/
/etc/dnf/dnf.conf:excludepkgs=xrdp xorgxrdp

Thank you!

Sweet grep command.  I am writing that one down!
