dnf exclude option not working

[Kostas Sfakiotakis]

Can someone please tell me the correct syntax of the exclude option ( 
the -x option will not work as well ) ??

dnf upgrade  --best --allowerasing  --exclude=cpu-x-4.0.1-5.fc33.x86_64

Have you tried just

dnf upgrade  --best --allowerasing  --exclude=cpu-x

Yes it will not work either . Also

dnf upgrade --best --allowerasing -x=cpu-x will not work .

I have tried all the variations that i could think off .

Even

dnf  upgrade --best --allowerasing -exclude=cpu-x-4.0.1-5.fc33.x86_64.rpm

will not work .

I added --skip-broken but to no avail  . The only work around that i 
have found this far is to delete cpu-x , do the upgrades and then
reinstall cpu-x ( at my own peril ) .

Am no expert here , so i can't tell you what is going wrong . For 
reference if it adds to it the list of the upgrades is as follows :

Sidenote , hell breaks loose with that elementary-planner package , 
whatever that package is . I also noticed it when it was too late that i 
was upgrading stuff from the updates-testing repository but it
should have worked since it isn't the first time am doing it ( have done 
it a few times since i upgraded to Fedora 33 from Fedora 32 .

As you can conclude from the version-release numbers shown for the
libcpuid package, you strictly need libcpuid-0.4.1 for your already
installed cpu-x package. But the updates-testing repository offers an
incompatible upgrade to libcpuid-0.5.0, which breaks existing
dependencies. You may choose to ignore (= exclude) that package,
and of course, you will not be able to install anything that strictly
requires this newer but incompatible package.

The corresponding ticket in the Fedora Updates System already tells
that this Test Update causes problems:

Well that's the problem . I am not able to exclude cpu-x . No matter

how i try to syntax the dnf command , cpu-x doesn't get excluded and

the whole update fails . The only "solution" that comes to mind is

delete the cpu-x package , perform the upgrades and then reinstall or

abandon the cpu-x package for the moment .

The cpu-x package is installed already. You cannot exclude it. Erasing and
reinstalling it would not avoid dependency breakage as long as the
incompatible libcpuid pkg is offered in the repos.

I deleted the cpu-x package and then


dnf  upgrade -x=elementary-planner did the magic and the above upgrades 
were performed

So my immediate problem ( not being able to upgrade packages at all ) 
was resolved .  Though i think that i understand what you are suggesting .

Just for the story of the thing

Error: Transaction test error:
   file /usr/lib64/libcodecore.so.0.0 from install of 
elementary-planner-2.6.1-1.fc33.x86_64 conflicts with file from package 
elementary-code-3.4.1-2.fc33.x86_64

was the problem that forced up to exclude elementary-planner . There was 
a libcpuid package update offered so am not sure if that was what you 
meant .

( libcpuid x86_64 0.5.0-1.fc33 
updates-testing                                    37 k )

That query isn't helpful, because it doesn't show what you are interested
in. Instead, you want to run

  dnf repoquery --requires cpu-x

as to examine what the cpu-x package depends on. Among the libraries it
depends on is the offending "libcpuid" package.

That is a fallacy. As soon as cpu-x would be installed again, the problem
would return, since nothing has changed, and as long as the incompatible
test update of libcpuid remains available, you cannot update that package
since it would break dependencies. The way forward would be to either
rebuild cpu-x and offer it as an update, or to withdraw the incompatible
libcpuid package from the updates-testing repo.

Well i guess i can look for the source code of cpu-x  and try
build it from source .  As for withdrawing the incompatible
libcpuid package from the updates-testing repo  , well i don't
have the slightest clue on how that can be achieved .

<snip>

The cpu-x package is installed already. You cannot exclude it. Erasing 
and reinstalling it would not avoid dependency breakage as long as the 
incompatible libcpuid pkg is offered in the repos.

[root@Orion ~]# dnf repoquery --whatrequires libcpuid

Last metadata expiration check: 0:52:55 ago on Tue 29 Dec 2020 06:01:13 
PM EET.
cpu-x-0:4.0.1-5.fc33.x86_64
i-nex-0:7.6.1-4.fc33.x86_64
i-nex-0:7.6.1-6.fc33.x86_64
libcpuid-devel-0:0.4.1-3.fc33.i686
libcpuid-devel-0:0.4.1-3.fc33.x86_64
libcpuid-devel-0:0.5.0-1.fc33.i686
libcpuid-devel-0:0.5.0-1.fc33.x86_64

The only package from the above that i was using was cpu-x ( deleted it 
since ) , i am not using i-nex , so by deleting the cpu-x package i was 
indeed getting rid off the
problem you mentioned with libcpuid . That's what i was trying to say .

You had written "[...] and then reinstall or abandon the cpu-x package
for the moment [...]", which prompted me to point out that reinstalling
the package would not fix anything, since it would not fix the dependency
breakage.

Of course, if you don't need cpu-x at all, you can keep it removed.
Reinstalling is what would not fix anything with regard to the libcpuid
test update breakage.

That quoted line makes no sense, since it contains multiple errors.
Correct would be: --exclude=PACKAGENAME
Not: -exclude=PACKAGENAME.rpm
And PACKAGENAME may include version, release and arch, but not ".rpm"
if you work with repositories.

Please show full output of what you're trying to do.
Don't just write "will not work" without telling details.
