CentOS 8.3.2011 rpm install error 'centos-repos(8) conflicts with centos-linux-repos-8-2.el8.noarch'

[gdsotirov]

Hello,

I'm trying to setup a chroot environment with minimal CentOS 8.3.2011 installation in a GCP virtual machine. The command I use is:

Code: Select all

rpm --root=/base/centos-8 \
    -ivh \
    'http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8.3.2011/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/centos-linux-release-8.3-1.2011.el8.noarch.rpm' \
    'http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8.3.2011/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/centos-gpg-keys-8-2.el8.noarch.rpm' \
    'http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8.3.2011/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/centos-linux-repos-8-2.el8.noarch.rpm'

On the first execution the command finishes successfully with the following output:

However, on the second (and consecutive) execution(s) it fails with this output:

I was not able to find this error in this forum or over the internet, so I'm writing here hoping someone could help. My expectation is that the command would finish successfully on second (and consecutive) execution(s), because the packages are already installed. What could be the problem?

This is the output with debug information (i.e. -ivvh flags):

There is no package centos-repos installed. This was the name of the package in CentOS 8, but I'm doing a clean install of 8.3.

Thanks in advance for any help solving this.

P.S. I was using the same approach (consecutive executions of rpm -i), but with the following command line in CentOS 8.2 without any such problems. I recently changed only package names as previously I was using CentOS 8.2 for the chroot environment.

Code: Select all

rpm --root=/baseos/centos-8 \
    -ivh \
    'http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8.2.2004/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/centos-release-8.2-2.2004.0.1.el8.x86_64.rpm' \
    'http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8.2.2004/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/centos-gpg-keys-8.2-2.2004.0.1.el8.noarch.rpm' \

Replaying to my thread since nobody else did.

The problem is reproducible in CentOS 8.3.2011 even without the --root flag:

Code: Select all

rpm -ivh \
>     'http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8.3.2011/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/centos-linux-release-8.3-1.2011.el8.noarch.rpm' \

So I had to workaround it by adding --nodeps falg and also ignoring the command output as it's still non-zero (3):

Code: Select all

# rpm -ivh --nodeps \
>     'http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8.3.2011/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/centos-linux-release-8.3-1.2011.el8.noarch.rpm' \

I hope someone is able to explain it.

P.S. The problem is not reproducible in CentOS 8.2.2004.

[sml]

In CentOS 8.3, centos-release and centos-repos were renamed centos-linux-release resp. centos-linux-repos.

Code: Select all

rpm -q --obsoletes centos-linux-release
centos-release < 8.2-3
centos-repos < 8.2-3
centos-userland-release < 8.2-3

When you install with dnf, the option obsoletes is enabled by default, so you won't run into this.

[gdsotirov]

In CentOS 8.3, centos-release and centos-repos were renamed centos-linux-release resp. centos-linux-repos.

Yes, they were for the reasons I'm not aware of. I'm not sure why was this necessary.

When you install with dnf, the option obsoletes is enabled by default, so you won't run into this.

Do you mean using dnf, instead of rpm sml? Like this:

Code: Select all

dnf --installroot=/base/centos-8 \
    install \
    'http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8.3.2011/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/centos-linux-release-8.3-1.2011.el8.noarch.rpm' \
    'http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8.3.2011/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/centos-gpg-keys-8-2.el8.noarch.rpm' \
    'http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8.3.2011/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/centos-linux-repos-8-2.el8.noarch.rpm'

Because it works as the following output shows:

Complete!

However, I wonder is there any way to emulate the same with rpm? As far as I'm aware option --obsoletes in rpm could be used only for repo queries.

[sml]

This is my understanding as well. You cannot use --obsoletes together with install in rpm.

[gdsotirov]

Thanks. I rewrote the command for install of the packages with DNF.
