#11901 Random failures in koji for rawhide builds
Closed: Fixed by jnsamyak. Opened by ellert.

  • Describe the issue

There are random failures in koji that seem related to dnf5.

There are two different sets of failures, either:

DEBUG util.py:461:  Unknown argument "groupinstall" for command "dnf5". Add "--help" for more information about the arguments.
DEBUG util.py:461:  It could be a command provided by a plugin, try: dnf install dnf5-command(groupinstall)
DEBUG util.py:610:  Child return code was: 2

or

DEBUG util.py:461:  Unknown argument "--allowerasing" for command "install". Add "--help" for more information about the arguments.
DEBUG util.py:610:  Child return code was: 2

Either the srpm creation fails

  • https://koschei.fedoraproject.org/package/castxml?collection=f40
  • https://koschei.fedoraproject.org/package/globus-gridmap-eppn-callout?collection=f40
  • https://koschei.fedoraproject.org/package/globus-xio-popen-driver?collection=f40

Or the x86_64 build fails

  • https://koschei.fedoraproject.org/package/ftgl?collection=f40
  • https://koschei.fedoraproject.org/package/globus-gatekeeper?collection=f40
  • https://koschei.fedoraproject.org/package/globus-xioperf?collection=f40
  • https://koschei.fedoraproject.org/package/nordugrid-arc?collection=f40
  • https://koschei.fedoraproject.org/package/uberftp?collection=f40
  • https://koschei.fedoraproject.org/package/voms-mysql-plugin?collection=f40
  • https://koschei.fedoraproject.org/package/xxhash?collection=f40

The above examples are from koschei, but it also affects normal builds:

  • https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=111918893

The failures are random, because retrying this build agian with no change succeeded:

  • https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=111919068

  • When do you need this? (YYYY/MM/DD)

As soon as possible.
Preferable before the mass rebuild starts.

  • When is this no longer needed or useful? (YYYY/MM/DD)

Never

  • If we cannot complete your request, what is the impact?

Failures will continue.


Hey @ellert

Thanks for letting us know, last night (this is afternoon for me atm), we restarted koji to have all the builders catch the latest patch that kevin applied, and I think @praiskup also confirmed that everything looks ok now.

Have you encountered the issue recently?

Yes, I suppose these builds happened before the issue was fixed. I think I fixed the last builder around

I first read your time as 03:00, but it really should say 15:00, so this is after the latest time i saw (stated above), and not 10 hours before as it first looked like.

I'm closing this as resolved, in case we have anything else to discuss on this, we can reopen the ticket; thanks!
