Hi,

I'm using AlmaLinux 8.5 on my workstation. Today running dnf update I

clevis

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

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?
