Hide DDEBUG messages in DNF output

dannycolin · December 15, 2019, 7:57pm

Hi folks,

A week or so ago, dnf started to show DDEBUG messages and not just INFO. I tried to explicitly set debuglevel and errorlevel in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf but it didn’t help. Does anyone have a idea on how I could resolve this issue?

Here’s an example of dnf update output:

INFO:dnf:--- logging initialized ---
DDEBUG:dnf:timer: config: 3 ms
DEBUG:dnf:Loaded plugins: builddep, changelog, config-manager, copr, debug, debuginfo-install, download, generate_completion_cache, needs-restarting, playground, repoclosure, repodiff, repograph, repomanage, reposync, system-upgrade
DEBUG:dnf:DNF version: 4.2.17
DDEBUG:dnf:Command: dnf update

Hello @dannycolin, welcome to Fedora! Please take a look at the posts in #start-here if you’ve not yet had a chance to do so.

Hrm, that’s odd. My dnf doesn’t even show INFO messages. This is all it has:

[main]
gpgcheck=1
installonly_limit=3
clean_requirements_on_remove=True
best=False
skip_if_unavailable=True

It could be enabled by a plugin maybe. Can you please paste the outputs of:

rpm -qa \*dnf\*

and the /etc/dnf/dnf.conf file?

dannycolin · December 16, 2019, 4:38pm

Sure. Here’s the output of rpm -qa \*dnf\* :

python3-dnf-4.2.17-1.fc31.noarch
dnf-plugins-core-4.0.12-1.fc31.noarch
python3-dnf-plugin-system-upgrade-4.0.8-1.fc31.noarch
libdnf-0.39.1-1.fc31.x86_64
dnf-4.2.17-1.fc31.noarch
python3-dnf-plugins-extras-common-4.0.8-1.fc31.noarch
python3-libdnf-0.39.1-1.fc31.x86_64
dnf-data-4.2.17-1.fc31.noarch
python3-dnf-plugins-core-4.0.12-1.fc31.noarch

And, my /etc/dnf/dnf.conf file:

[main]
gpgcheck=1
installonly_limit=3
clean_requirements_on_remove=True
fastestmirror=True
rpmverbosity=info

So, the rpmverbosity option only affects outputs from RPM scriptlets, not dnf:

       rpmverbosity
	      string

	      RPM debug scriptlet output level. One of: critical, emergency, error, warn, info or debug. Default is info.

There’s the debuglevel option, but you don’t seem to be using it:

       debuglevel
	      integer

	      Debug messages output level, in the range 0 to 10. The higher the number the more debug output is put to stdout. Default is 2.

You can try setting it to 2 to see if that takes dnf back to the default level of verbosity.

How are you running dnf? Could we see what which dnf says in case it’s been aliased to dnf --verbose or something of the sort?

If not, then one of the plugins could be increasing the verbosity. Can you take a look at the plugin configurations in /etc/dnf/plugins to see what the configurations there are and if they contain a related setting?

There’s the debuglevel option, but you don’t seem to be using it:

I tried to set it to 2 and even 0 without success

How are you running dnf ? Could we see what which dnf says in case it’s been aliased to dnf --verbose or something of the sort?

It outputs /usr/bin/dnf

Can you take a look at the plugin configurations in /etc/dnf/plugins to see what the configurations there are and if they contain a related setting?

I only have copr.conf and debuginfo-install.conf. None of them have a debuglevel option in it or something that looks similar.

For copr.conf:

[fedora]
hostname = copr.fedorainfracloud.org
protocol = https
port = 443

For debuginfo-install:

[main]
enabled=1
autoupdate=0

Any other idea to debug this issue?

Here I also copy/paste the full output. You can see that the list is output’ed twice.

I’m running out of ideas tbh. How about without any plugins? dnf --noplugins ...?

dannycolin · January 13, 2020, 6:30pm

No luck. I think I’ll file a bugreport with all the debugging info I’ve gathered here and in #fedora on Freenode where I also got help to see if the problem wasn’t related to python (and pip packages).

I’ll also leave this post open for the moment and update and close it as soon as I have more information from my bugreport.

Thanks for all the help
