filebot installed from fedora yum repo wants update at every `dnf distro-sync` ?

Post by fbmailcan »

Hi,

I run Filebot on Fedora 36.

I installed & enabled the repo, and then the filebot-4.9.6-amd64.x86_64 package.

I entered my license. It works great.

It's up to date. When I run `dnf update`, there's nothing to do

Code: Select all

dnf update filebot
	Last metadata expiration check: 0:00:52 ago on Sat 05 Nov 2022 12:24:04 PM EDT.
	Dependencies resolved.
	Nothing to do.
	Complete!
But when I run a system-wide, or package specific `dnf distro-sync`

filebot wants to update every time

Code: Select all

dnf distro-sync filebot
	Last metadata expiration check: 0:00:20 ago on Sat 05 Nov 2022 12:24:04 PM EDT.
	Dependencies resolved.

	 Package              Architecture        Version                    Repository            Size
	==================================================================================================
	Reinstalling:
	 filebot              x86_64              4.9.6-amd64                filebot               43 M

	Transaction Summary
	==================================================================================================

	Total download size: 43 M
	Installed size: 0
	Is this ok [y/N]:
If I let it, there's no actual update -- I end up with the same version.
If I run `dnf update` or `dnf distro-sync` again, then just like above, filebot want to get and update.

This is only with filebot. All my other packages are either already up to date or get sync'd once if needed, then they're fine.

This shouldn't happen each and every time. Something's missing or stuck.

Maybe there's something in the metadata that needs to get updated?

Or something on my end?

If you can point out any specific issues in the repository descriptor or suggest changes that will make dnf distro-sync happy, then we'd be happy to apply any suggested fixes.


Here's the entire repository:
* https://get.filebot.net/rpm/
* https://get.filebot.net/rpm/main/


We use prm to generate the repository:

:arrow: Please report the issue in the Fedora forums as well, because you will likely find more expertise there when it comes to strange Fedora or dnf issues.
:idea: Please read the FAQ and How to Request Help.
