SUMMARY Discover does not honor repo include/exclude statements OBSERVED RESULT Discover shows that an update is available in a repo that has include/exclude statements which should prevent this package from being shown or selected. EXPECTED RESULT If a package is excluded, it should be ignored by Discover and not shown as being available in that particular repository. Workaround is unfortunately having to completely unselect the repo search function and use DNF or another package. /:-------------:\ :-------------------:: ------------- :-----------/shhOHbmp---:\ OS: Fedora 34 (Workstation Edition) x86_64 /-----------omMMMNNNMMD ---: Host: 80K4 Lenovo ideapad 500-15ACZ :-----------sMMMMNMNMP. ---: Kernel: 5.12.8-300.fc34.x86_64 :-----------:MMMdP------- ---\ Uptime: 36 mins ,------------:MMMd-------- ---: Packages: 2841 (rpm) :------------:MMMd------- .---: Shell: bash 5.1.0 :---- oNMMMMMMMMMNho .----: Resolution: 1920x1080 :-- .+shhhMMMmhhy++ .------/ DE: Plasma 5.21.5 :- -------:MMMd--------------: WM: kwin :- --------/MMMd-------------; Theme: Breeze [Plasma], Adwaita [GTK2/3] :- ------/hMMMy------------: Icons: [Plasma], breeze [GTK2/3] :-- :dMNdhhdNMMNo------------; Terminal: konsole :---:sdNMMMMNds:------------: CPU: AMD A10-8700P Radeon R6 4C+6G :------:://:-------------:: GPU: AMD ATI Radeon R5/R6/R7 Graphics :---------------------:// Memory: 4296MiB / 7474MiB
As far as I understand, this is an issue in upstream PackageKit, can you please report there? https://github.com/PackageKit/PackageKit/issues/ Thank you!
Thanks for the info, I reported it here: https://github.com/PackageKit/PackageKit/issues/485 However, there is also this... https://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2019/02/14/packagekit-is-dead-long-live-well-something-else/ Which begs the question, why is Discover using packagekit when packagekit is basically going away?
1. there's no alternative 2. it's actively maintained by other people besides hughsie.
