#136 packages from dependent modules not available for profile
Closed: Invalid 4 years ago by langdon. Opened 4 years ago by langdon.

If I have a module that requires another module, I can't seem to add packages from that module to the "downstream" profile.

For example, my-cool-db-visualizer depends on the postgresql-client (psql) being installed. Even if i have the postgresql module required by my-cool-db-visualizer, if I add "postgresql" to the rpms section of my "default" profile, I get an error like the one below when I try to install it.

Should this work?

Yes, this is expected to work. The profile content to install is expected to be determined once the modules and their dependent modules are enabled.

This is part of the original spec; we used the example of 389 DS as representative. The 389ds module would provide all of the content, but the Red Hat DS and FreeIPA modules would list it in their profiles.

OK, good, it seemed weird. Probably need to file a bug against dnf.

So, turns out, this is a "Virtual Provides" problem. I was using "python3" and the actual rpm is called "python36." Ugh.
