Possible package resource issue with DNF5 provider on Fedora 44

[muald]

After the in-place upgrade from Fedora 43 to Fedora 44, the OpenVox repo was updated accordingly.

/etc/yum.repos.d$ cat siemens-mlinux-openvox.repo 
[siemens-mlinux-openvox]

[nsballmann]

@bastelfreak is this maybe the ENVRA vs NEVRA change by DNF5 vs DNF4, see https://dnf5.readthedocs.io/en/latest/misc/specs.7.html#nevra-matching?

[nsballmann]

Maybe breaking lib/puppet/provider/package/yum.rb#L70 at lib/puppet/provider/package/yum.rb#L141?

I have identified the cause of this incorrect behaviour in Fedora 44 with dnf5:
The 'check-update' function returns a list of packages.
The standard format for 'check-update' should look like this:

package-name.arch version-release repository.

However, in Fedora 44 with DNF5, the output of the 'check-update' function looks like this:

Upgrades
package-name.arch version-release repository.

Consequently, the parser incorrectly constructs the entire list based on the 'Upgrades' header.

Debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderDnf: Parsing tuple: tuple[0]="Upgrades", tuple[1]="7zip.x86_64", tuple[2]="26.02-1.fc44"

Debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderDnf: Parsing tuple: tuple[0]="updates", tuple[1]="openvox-agent.x86_64", tuple[2]="8.28.1-1.fc44"

No updates could be found because only the lines containing a ‘.’ in tuple[0] are considered.
Due to the shift, 'package-name.arch' is instead located in 'tuple[1]'.
After removing the 'Upgrades' header,

body = body.gsub(/^Upgrades.*?$/m,'')

Parsing works normally again.

The update works again as well.

  ensure   => '8.28.1-1.fc44',
  provider => 'dnf',
}

Finally, I have a question: is it possible to suppress the generation of the 'Upgrades' header?

[nsballmann]

@muald as far as I can tell from https://dnf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/command_ref.html#check-update-command I don't see any parameter to suppress the Upgrades header. But maybe it's just not documented?

[nsballmann]

But what I also found is dnf check-upgrade --json. I'm not sure which specific DNF version introduced this. But this could make parsing the check-upgrade output significantly more resilient.

@bastelfreak would this be a bigger change to how the yum.rb and dnf.rb package provider operate?

So most likely we "just" must add Upgrades to the list in lib/puppet/provider/package/yum.rb#L135?
