dnf list --showduplicates shows a lot of double entries

[Joachim Backes]

Hi all,

dnf list --showduplicates

shows a lot of duplicate entries, with origin fedora and commandline, 
for example of the package yelp:

dnf list --showduplicates|grep yelp

Is this an known dnf issue, or how to get rid of this annoying effect?

Kind regards

Hi,

# yum-deprecated  list --showduplicates -q | wc -l
73450

# dnf list --showduplicates -q | wc -l
76411

vs

# yum-deprecated  list -q | wc -l
56101

# dnf list -q | wc -l
55966

(counts differs because different metadata)

seems like it does something in both DNF and yum. Even after checking
the output they look the same. IFAIK it should show all versions of
the same package name instead of just highest.

I am not sure what are you trying to achieve but I would recommend you
to use `dnf repoquery` instead. E.g. for showing duplicates on the
system: `dnf repoquery --installed --duplicates` or `dnf check
--duplicates`.

Hi Honza,

I think the problem has been solved:

Using "dnf list installed --showduplicates" generated another output 
without the issues I mentioned.

I did not know that the "installed" option was not the default, it seems 
that "available" was the default, so that output (please try
dnf list available --showduplicates).

Kind regards

Hi, yeah by default "dnf list" outputs all packages (installed and
available) combined with --showduplicates you get a lot of records for
the same package name and that's expected behavior.
