Multiple matches of cockpit-* package

[leomoty]

Explain what happens

Seems to be the same as #8731.

Multiple matches of cockpit-machines;319-1.el9;noarch;copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:group_cockpit:cockpit-preview

Interestingly dnf update resolves just fine, as I installed with it, and no custom command/enable repos or anything:

 dnf list installed | grep cockpit-machines
cockpit-machines.noarch                       319-1.el9                           @copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:group_cockpit:cockpit-preview

Also yes, I acknowledge that a regular user will never hit this, at least not with cockpit packages.

Hey @leomoty ! So the "list" view works, but this happens when you try to install a package? Can you please give me the output of

pkcon resolve --filter newest cockpit-machines

? This isn't quite what the Apps page does, but I didn't figure out how to give more than one filter to the pkcon UI (it's not documented, and no Google hits -- seems it supports just one). I guess that this has more than one result, and I'm interested in how it looks like -- perhaps we can tighten the filter more.

Thanks!

Yea, the list seems just fine.

Can you please give me the output of

pkcon resolve --filter newest cockpit-machines

pkcon resolve --filter newest cockpit-machines

Hmm, that actually looks fine -- the real code uses PK.Enum.FILTER_ARCH | PK.Enum.FILTER_NOT_SOURCE | PK.Enum.FILTER_NEWEST | PK.Enum.FILTER_NOT_INSTALLED, so if you do pkcon resolve --filter ~installed cockpit-machines you should not see the "Installed" line again. I was hoping for two "available" lines.

So this is more difficult -- unfortunately the PackageKit API doesn't work well with busctl due to the transient Transaction objects, so this needs some more debugging effort. I'll think about this some more.

If you have a way to reproduce this reliably (we have access to CentOS, RHEL, Fedora, Debian, and Ubuntu), that'd be much appreciated of course.

If I downgrade cockpit machines to 318, I can replicate the issue again when trying to upgrade to 319:

pkcon resolve --filter newest cockpit-machines

A-ha! Do the ".src" ones disappear with pkcon resolve --filter ~source cockpit-machines?

yep, src is gone

[martinpitt]

OK, thanks -- so either packagekit D-Bus API messes up setting multiple filters at once, and it indeed results in more than one result then, or all of the filters still match two results (same version from COPR and the official repos?). I'm not entirely sure how to fix that on the cockpit side, but I'll try to reproduce it next week.

[martinpitt]

TBH I'm at loss here. The preview COPR only has version 326, not even sure where the 319 comes from. And packagekit doesn't seem to properly filter on Rocky.

[leomoty]

I can still reproduce it, same thing as before:

pkcon resolve --filter ~source cockpit-machines

not sure if I can help in any way
