Reopen Issue

I’m having trouble creating an update for side tag f43-build-side-112655 using https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/new. When I hit the Submit button, it spins for a second or so and then fails silently. Watching it in Firefox dev tools shows that the response to the POST is an error 500, with the following body:

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Internal Server Error</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1><p>Internal Server Error</p></h1>
  </body>
</html>

If I try to create the update using the Bodhi CLI, I see the same thing:

$ bodhi updates new --type bugfix --bugs 2366373 --request testing --close-bugs --from-tag --notes 'Update abseil-cpp to 20250512.0: https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp/compare/20250127.1...20250512.0' f43-build-side-112655 --debug

Describe what you would like us to do:

Please help understand why I cannot create a Bodhi update for side tag f43-build-side-112655 and fix or work around the problem.

When do you need this to be done by? (YYYY/MM/DD)

2025/05/30

No hard deadline, but this side tag will remain open with 18 builds until the problem is resolved, and the likelihood of conflicts will increase the longer the side tag remains open.

There's a database transaction error it was throwing. ;(

I've just scaled the pods down to 0 and back up, can you try again now?

Updating this issue with information from the Matrix channel, it seems the problem is most likely due to the NVR of fcitx5-mozc becoming too long: since https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fcitx5-mozc/pull-request/7, it has expanded from fcitx5-mozc-2.30.5618.102-5.20250124gitc0ed34e.s20250101gite5b3425.s20250101gitv3.29.1.fc43 to fcitx5-mozc-2.30.5618.102-7.20250124gitc0ed34e.s20250101gite5b3425.s20250101gitv3.29.1.s20250515git20240722.0.fc43.

Both are unreasonable, and I attempted to fix this in https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fcitx5-mozc/pull-request/8, but I am currently still struggling with https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2359090.

With https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fcitx5-mozc/pull-request/8, I was able to rebuild fcitx5-mozc as fcitx5-mozc-2.30.5618.102^20250124gitc0ed34e-2.fc43, and then I had no trouble creating a Bodhi update https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-549a67a167. This confirms the initial theory that the database error was due to the package name being too long. Thank you for the help in understanding the problem here!
