Description Jani Välimaa 2016-03-09 17:12:09 CET

Because of changes [1] in latest perl-Getopt-Long, urpmq fails if -Yf or --list-media switches are used.

Perl bundles older (and "working") version of perl(Getopt::Long), but it is possible to install newer one by hand as it's also shipped as a separate pkg. At some point bundled version will be updated and we will face the same issue for sure.

Possible fix is to remove 'gnu_compat' option from 
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.22.1/urpm/args.pm line 21:

..snip..
# Configuration of Getopt. urpmf is a special case, because we need to
# parse non-alphanumerical options (-! -( -))
my @configuration = qw(bundling gnu_compat permute);
..snip..

However, I don't know if removing 'gnu_compat' causes some side effects.

$ rpm -q perl-Getopt-Long
package perl-Getopt-Long is not installed
$ urpmq -Yf nano

$ rpm -q perl-Getopt-Long
perl-Getopt-Long-2.480.0-1.mga6
$ urpmq -Yf nano
