Per https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2023-5fd964c1bf#comment-3149533
we kinda need to do this to allow this update through, so long as
we're not going to have dnf obsolete dnf5 or anything like that.
It's a bit unfortunate but I don't see an alternative.

We're seeing a lot of tests fail on 404s when trying to access
the koji-rawhide repo (the repo for the Rawhide build tag, which
we use to get packages tagged since the last compose. nirik is
trying to figure this out from the server end, but for now at
least, let's mark the repo as skip_if_unavailable. This should
mean that if we hit a 404, the test will continue, it just won't
have access to the packages from that repo. Occasionally this
will cause a problem - a false failure or false pass - but this
still seems better than every test that hits it failing. The
false pass case is the most concerning, but I would hope in that
case some other tests from the same update would fail, making it
not an issue.

Per nirik, 'repos/rawhide' is just a symlink to 'repos/fXX-build'
and this could possibly be part of our 404 problem. So let's
try using fXX-build directly instead of the symlink.

This repo gets regenerated a lot, so we should be very aggressive
about metadata expiry. Hopefully this will forestall most of
the cases where we get a 404 trying to access this repo's
metadata files.

We're still getting failures from pagure.io even with the retry
stuff. nirik asked us to add this to help figure out what the
heck is going on there.

This tweaks all pagure.io downloads to be retried a few times,
since we seem to be getting failures quite often. We use curl
for this as it has nice options for it.

We drop the line for the update ISO from /etc/fstab before
uploading the image after the cockpit_default test, but we don't
make sure it's set up again before Cockpit tries to use it, in
the subsequent Cockpit tests. I don't know why this didn't fail
on stg before, but it sure as hell is failing in prod...

I'm attempting a new approach to the update and workaround repos.
Instead of having each update test recreate them for itself -
which is slow and wastes bandwidth - the dispatcher will create
an ISO at test schedule time and pass it as ISO_2. Then the test
just mounts the ISO. This makes the necessary adjustments on the
test side.

Drop the e2fsprogs scratch build workaround we were using for
https://github.com/fedora-silverblue/issue-tracker/issues/470 -
with the new 'use a custom ref and rebase to the official ref'
thing I implemented for update ostree tests, it shouldn't be
necessary any longer.

I think this is new behaviour in rpm 4.19, or else we would have
run into this before when testing an s390utils update. But it's
easy enough to handle.

F36 is now EOL, and from F37 onwards, grub is the bootloader in
any situation where it actually matters to do_bootloader (which
is only when we're editing parameters). We do still use syslinux
in the PXE tests on x86_64 BIOS, but we don't edit the parameters
in that case.

It looks like neither of these has been a problem for some time.
The notification needle has not matched for a year. The akonadi
needle doesn't exist any more - it was cleaned up in the 2021
needle cleanup, meaning it hadn't matched for weeks in 2021. I
checked the last several months of KDE app start/stop tests and
don't see any case where there was a stray notification that we
missed. So I think we can just ditch this whole mechanism for
now; if we have problems with these notifications again in future
we can put it back.

For several releases now, the 'new user mode' of g-i-s is just
gone: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-initial-setup/-/issues/12
so this whole path where we used to be able to set up Japanese
input methods on first boot after install doesn't work any more.
We had to set up a whole different route to set the input method
via control center instead (which lives in _graphical_input).
This block is never reached any more, and the needles for it were
cleaned up in 2021.

Since 022865ab we do not use start_with_launcher on KDE any more.
The needle for it has since got lost in an unused needle
cleanup. Let's just drop this branch for now; we can add it back
if we ever need it again.

There's a fairly longstanding issue in GDM where switching layout
just doesn't work sometimes:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/6066#note_1707051
there doesn't seem to be any progress on getting this fixed, and
it's annoying constantly restarting tests that fail on it. So
this just makes us try three times to switch before giving up.

So...there's an ffmpeg update:
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2023-a5e10b188a
which went stable. It includes new sonames of all the ffmpeg
libs. It also pulls in a thing called oneVPL, which has a bug
that breaks ostree composes.
There's a big kf5 update:
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2023-b086a98f78
which contains kf5-kfilemetadata, which is built against ffmpeg.
Neal made sure that update's build of it was built against the
new ffmpeg and submitted both for stable at once - but the tests
on the kf5 update failed because they weren't run against the
new ffmpeg as it wasn't yet stable, and the kf5 update was
ejected from the push because of the failed tests.
So now we have the ffmpeg update stable but not the
kf5-kfilemetadata rebuild for it, which will break KDE stuff,
and the oneVPL issue means ostree composes will all fail.
This adds the ffmpeg update as a workaround so we can re-run the
tests for the kf5 update and get them to pass so we can push it
stable. It also adds the oneVPL update as a workaround so ostree
compose tests don't start failing.

Just using a scratch build for now as my fix hasn't been reviewed
and may have dumb mistakes in it, but it does seem to fix the
openQA test at least.

A different way to address the same problem as 56936df7 . Let's
just *remove* the repo management packages after we're done
creating the repos. dnf will automatically remove the unused
dependencies too. This fixes the python-cryptography case at
least - I tested.

There's this awkward path for the live image install tests on
updates. We run the 'are the correct versions of all the packages
installed' check on these tests to ensure the right versions
actually made it onto the live image. So we don't run
`dnf -y update` at the end of repo_setup_updates on that path,
because if we did that, even if the packages on the live image
were old, we'd update them there and hide the problem.
However, this causes a bit of an ordering issue, because in
order to set up the advisory repo, we need to install a few
packages. What if the update under test includes one of those
packages, or a dependency that wasn't already installed? In
that case, we wind up with the older stable version of the
package (because obviously we can't install the newer version
from the advisory repo *before we've set up the advisory repo*),
don't update it later, and so the 'correct version' check at
the end of the test fails. See:
https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/1778707 for a case of
this happening with a python-cryptography update.
Up till now I was trying to handle this by just updating the
specific packages we install, but that doesn't account for
*dependencies* of them. I looked down the path of trying to
generate a list of all those dependencies and update all of
them but it looks a bit mad. So instead let's try this. On that
specific path, we'll generate the "all installed packages" list
*before* we run repo_setup, so it just doesn't include anything
that gets installed during repo_setup. The implementation is a
bit icky but not too horrible.
We *could* just *always* generate the all installed packages
list earlier, but then that would mean we *wouldn't* catch dep
issues in this kind of package on the other test paths, whereas
currently we do. I don't want to lose that.

This is to handle a temporary condition where the screen isn't
present on the KDE base disk images for F38 or F39 yet, so they
only see it on the second boot on update tests, but don't handle
it because we marked it as already 'done'.

KDE has a welcome tour now, on F38 and Rawhide at least. Let's
"handle" it with extreme prejudice...
Signed-off-by: Adam Williamson <awilliam@redhat.com>
The F38 update that breaks this hasn't gone stable due to gating
and the F39 update will be pulled in once the tests are done
and it goes stable, but doing this anyway so I can re-run the
tests on the F38 plasma-workspace update and push it stable,
and rerun all the failed Rawhide tests without waiting for all
the tests on this update to finish first.
We still need to handle 43 only requiring one for now, and we
can't just make it release-dependent until 44 is stable for both
38 and Rawhide, so let's use a needle match temporarily. Only
44 has these eye/pencil icons on this screen.
