What were you trying to do that didn't work?
The cockpit linux-system-role has an option to install all available cockpit packages. Installation happens through ansible's package:: builtin, like this:
- name: Ensure Cockpit Web Console packages are installed.
package:
name: ["cockpit-podman", "cockpit-machines", ...]
state: present
Ansible translates this to a dnf install command, but we don't have control over this (like adding CLI options). We have a special mode to install "all" cockpit packages, which translates to installing cockpit-*. This broke recently:
Error: Problem: cannot install both cockpit-bridge-334.1-1.el9.x86_64 from baseos and cockpit-bridge-330-1.el9.x86_64 from baseos - cannot install the best candidate for the job
What is the impact of this issue to you?
linux-system-role is broken for this use case.
Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:
dnf-4.14.0-25.el9.noarch
How reproducible is this bug?:
Always
Steps to reproduce
dnf install --verbose 'cockpit*'
Expected results
Installs all cockpit packages.
Actual results
Fails with the above error message.
The current CentOS 9 Stream compose actually publishes multiple versions of cockpit-bridge :
# zgrep -A4 '<name>cockpit-bridge</name>' /var/cache/dnf/baseos-044cae74d71fe9ea/repodata/38e069c05a73572ed911be4913657663e219be6abf981fbc00f10093e00f8aef-primary.xml.gz <name>cockpit-bridge</name> <arch>x86_64</arch> <version epoch="0" ver="330" rel="1.el9"/> <checksum type="sha256" pkgid="YES">658b890ef18df1bed94eab701a8f76e73299a43e37c33af59528c7742ebbf07c</checksum> <summary>Cockpit bridge server-side component</summary> -- <name>cockpit-bridge</name> <arch>x86_64</arch> <version epoch="0" ver="331" rel="1.el9"/> <checksum type="sha256" pkgid="YES">706e736f25cf0e49142781a6e25530a881f9b1c9fe53a5e1c306c4d071c72eb1</checksum> <summary>Cockpit bridge server-side component</summary> -- <name>cockpit-bridge</name> <arch>x86_64</arch> <version epoch="0" ver="332" rel="1.el9"/> <checksum type="sha256" pkgid="YES">e3a52f4fce93a96bc4a04c6247818702191a74d40554041de3bc7ccfdcfeb9e9</checksum> <summary>Cockpit bridge server-side component</summary> -- <name>cockpit-bridge</name> <arch>x86_64</arch> <version epoch="0" ver="333" rel="1.el9"/> <checksum type="sha256" pkgid="YES">f4fc8f0b2ef80e0192cc078b13e7cf26611bb2d1f166ede765f42df826a7c85d</checksum> <summary>Cockpit bridge server-side component</summary> -- <name>cockpit-bridge</name> <arch>x86_64</arch> <version epoch="0" ver="334.1" rel="1.el9"/> <checksum type="sha256" pkgid="YES">c4dbff63fedd8929ca66b4561588600284d479333bf4c7d90eac2348a170a003</checksum> <summary>Cockpit bridge server-side component</summary>
This is also weird. The intention is certainly that dnf install 'cockpit-*' only installs the latest version (i.e. matches on names, not the full NEVAR). If that isn't the case, or you consider the compose broken, please feel free to reassign this to the "CS" project.
Thank you!
