Weird repo problem

[Danny Horne]

Hi all,

I have a PC and laptop both running Fedora 27 Workstation and both fully
updated, they both have an identical set of repos installed and
enabled.  The only difference is the PC has Wine installed.  For reasons
I won't go into I have to reinstall Wine occasionally but I can't find
it in either the 'Software' app or via dnf, dnf doesn't show any of the
core Wine packages.

Trying 'dnf search wine' on the laptop shows Wine and all it's ancillary
packages, but nothing is showing on the PC so I can't uninstall or do
anything with it.  I've tried 'dnf clean all' but that doesn't help.

Anyone any clues what's going on?

Thanks for looking

I'm still on f26;  I suppose you know where it is?

You say 'dnf search ...' shows the Wine packages, but you don't show
what actually happens if you try 'dnf install <package>'.

Weird repo problem [CLOSED!!]

Ok, I feel really stupid now!!

Because updating Wine broke stuff (and I've never figured out why) I
configured DNF a long time ago to ignore wine* so it hopefully wouldn't
show up in updates.  It stopped it showing up in dnfdragora, but
something else (Software app?) always found it and I finally let it
update Wine.

DNF fixed, Wine fixed
