Module failed: dnf repolist parse failure: parsed another repo id before next status

Hi All,

Could some please explain to me the following error message - I don’t understand it (or, more accurately, I don’t understand it well enough to fix it):

[ERROR]: Task failed: Module failed: dnf repolist parse failure: parsed another repo id before next status

This was caused by the following task (which, you’ll note, is a direct copy from the module’s webpage, apart from the actual task name):

- name: Enable CRB Repo
  community.general.dnf_config_manager:
    name: crb
    state: enabled

Thanks in advance

Cheers

Well, what output do you get from dnf repolist --all --verbose? This line runs that, then the following code steps through the output and matches it against the regexes. Look for two lines in the output that match ^Repo-id\s*:\s*(\S+)$ without a line matching ^Repo-status\s*:\s*(disabled|enabled)$ in between.

Hi @flowerysong, and thanks for getting back to me.

So, I got rid of all of the *.repo files except for rocky.repo (in an effort to minimise the resulting data) and ran the dnf repolist --all --verbose command. Results are as follows:

I can’t see (in the above) anywhere where there is two ^Repo-id\s*:\s*(\S+)$ lines without a `` line between them (but then again, my eyesight isn’t good), and yet I’m still getting the original error.

Have I missed something (includeing not understanding the Regex properly) or is there something else happening - what do you think?

And thanks heaps for the help

Cheers
