Hi,

I'm using AlmaLinux 8.5 on my workstation. Today running dnf update I noticed that it is trying to install new packages, This is the list of available upgrade:

cockpit cockpit-bridge cockpit-system cockpit-ws cryptsetup cryptsetup-libs dnf-plugins-core gnome-control-center gnome-control-center-filesystem google-chrome-stable java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless libipa_hbac libsmbclient libsss_autofs libsss_certmap libsss_idmap libsss_nss_idmap libsss_sudo libvirt-bash-completion libvirt-client libvirt-daemon libvirt-daemon-config-network libvirt-daemon-driver-interface libvirt-daemon-driver-network libvirt-daemon-driver-nodedev libvirt-daemon-driver-nwfilter libvirt-daemon-driver-qemu libvirt-daemon-driver-secret libvirt-daemon-driver-storage libvirt-daemon-driver-storage-core libvirt-daemon-driver-storage-disk libvirt-daemon-driver-storage-gluster libvirt-daemon-driver-storage-iscsi libvirt-daemon-driver-storage-iscsi-direct libvirt-daemon-driver-storage-logical libvirt-daemon-driver-storage-mpath libvirt-daemon-driver-storage-rbd libvirt-daemon-driver-storage-scsi libvirt-daemon-kvm libvirt-libs libwbclient ostree ostree-libs python3-dnf-plugins-core python3-rpm python3-sssdconfig rpm rpm-build rpm-build-libs rpm-libs rpm-plugin-selinux rpm-plugin-systemd-inhibit rpm-sign samba samba-client-libs samba-common samba-common-libs samba-common-tools samba-libs sos sssd sssd-ad sssd-client sssd-common sssd-common-pac sssd-ipa sssd-kcm sssd-krb5 sssd-krb5-common sssd-ldap sssd-nfs-idmap sssd-proxy tcpdump teamviewer tigervnc-license tigervnc-server-minimal vim-common vim-enhanced vim-filesystem vim-minimal vulkan-loader

This is followed by "Dependency Installation":

clevis jose jq libjose libluksmeta luksmeta python3-lxml python3-ptyprocess python3-webencodings tpm2-tools tracer-common

I checked if clevis and other packages are installed but I can't find them. So why it is trying to install new deps and packages?

That is weird. Do you have cockpit-storaged installed on the system? It looks like it suggests clevis-luks and that is what is causing it to get pulled into the system as upstream EL8 is supposed to treat suggests/recommends etc as depends. Why it is doing it now versus earlier updates I don't know. ``` # dnf repoquery --whatdepends clevis-luks Last metadata expiration check: 1:55:05 ago on Mon 07 Feb 2022 10:36:59 GMT. clevis-systemd-0:15-1.el8.x86_64 clevis-systemd-0:15-1.el8_5.1.x86_64 clevis-udisks2-0:15-1.el8.x86_64 clevis-udisks2-0:15-1.el8_5.1.x86_64 cockpit-storaged-0:251.1-1.el8.noarch stratisd-0:2.4.2-2.el8.x86_64 [root@xanadu ~]# rpm -qa | grep cockpit cockpit-ws-251.3-1.el8_5.x86_64 cockpit-251.3-1.el8_5.x86_64 cockpit-packagekit-251.1-1.el8.noarch cockpit-storaged-251.1-1.el8.noarch cockpit-system-251.3-1.el8_5.noarch cockpit-podman-39-1.module_el8.5.0+2613+1b78b731.noarch cockpit-bridge-251.3-1.el8_5.x86_64 ```

Thank you in advance.

Hi and thank you for your answer. cockpit-storaged is not installed on my system. Running this I get: # rpm -qa | grep cockpit cockpit-251.1-1.el8.x86_64 cockpit-bridge-251.1-1.el8.x86_64 cockpit-system-251.1-1.el8.noarch cockpit-ws-251.1-1.el8.x86_64 and this: # dnf repoquery --whatdepends cockpit-system Ultima verifica della scadenza dei metadati: 1:14:23 fa il lun 07 feb 2022 12:35:49 CET. cockpit-0:251.1-1.el8.x86_64 cockpit-0:251.3-1.el8_5.x86_64 cockpit-machines-0:251.1-1.el8.noarch cockpit-session-recording-0:7-2.el8.noarch cockpit-storaged-0:251.1-1.el8.noarch and the deps tree is cockpit-system -> cockpit-storaged -> clevis-luks -> clevis. What I don't understand why if  cockpit-storaged is not installed on my system dnf requires to install it? This is due the fact that cockpit got an upgrade and this upgrade (on my system)  requires that new deps need to be  installed?
