#8875 Unable to download source package from fedora-updates (again)
Closed: Upstream 3 years ago by kevin. Opened 3 years ago by goeran.

It seems the problem of issue #8371, which concerned Fedora 31, has returned for Fedora 32.

The mirrorlist you get for the updates-source repository includes links that end in …/Everything/source/tree, but that tree does not contain any source RPMS. They instead live close by in a tree at …/Everything/SRPMS. At least, this is true for the couple of mirrors I have checked.

The result is that a command like

dnf download --source xen

will end in an error message

No package xen-4.13.0-7.fc32.src available.

(At the time of writing, 4.13.0-7.fc32 is the most recent version of xen available in the repositories.) Like was the case in Fedora 31, this only seems to affect the updates source repository. Both the base fedora and the updates-testing source repositories work as expected.


@adrian seems another mirrormanager detection? we should try and figure a better way to solve these...

@adrian seems another mirrormanager detection? we should try and figure a better way to solve these...

Same as the other ticket. Someone first needs to remove the wrong directory 32/Everything/source and the I can delete the existing repositories from MM so it can be redected.

This needs to be fixed in the tool which pushes out the initial empty updates-released tree. There should be no sources directory.

I meant the reason is the same as in the other ticket #8874.

To fix this now the directory 32/Everything/source needs to be removed first for MM to redect it correctly.

Please follow along at https://pagure.io/releng/issue/9429 (which should be done in a few).

Almost fixed (except for updates-testing-modular-source-f32). Changes will be live in about two hours.
