I hit a problem that is baffling me.
After an
dnf updateordnf installI see an error doing adnf history rollback.What does the
Cannot find rpm nevraerror mean?In the first case that I saw this in I could downgrade and reinstall the named package.
All the nevra can be found in enabled repos. But rollback gives up after the error.This is the output from the rollback
Following this install
# dnf history rollback 34 Last metadata expiration check: 1:55:02 ago on Tue 22 Aug 2023 15:45:07 UTC.

I found 1 reason this can happen. I ran dnf install and during dnf install operation pressed Ctrl+C, which screwed up installation of one package. Then I’m getting these ‘can’t find rpm nevra’ errors trying to deal with dnf history. I have no idea how to fix this now.
