I'm pretty happily using dnf5 on my fedora 38. It's both a new library for dependency resolution and a new frontend, replacing dnf/libdnf (though nearly completely drop-in compatible with the CLI of dnf). It's much faster at doing things like searching the package database for words, so that's refreshing. Speaking of refreshing: Can I configure dnf5 to download metadata from different remote repositories (Fedora 38, Fedora 38, updates, Fedora 38 openh264, Fedora 38 nonfree updates, rpm fusion updates, rpm fusion non-free updates …) in parallel?

After updating my Fedora system to Fedora 41 it is using DNF in version 5 which is a replacement of DNF 4 that works differently in some situations. I noticed that the command dnf repository-packages ancient-repo remove no longer works. This command was useful for removing all packages installed from a specific repository (ancient-repo in this case). For example, with DNF 4, I could run:

dnf repository-packages ancient-repo remove

But in DNF 5, this results in an error:

Unknown argument "repository-packages" for command "dnf5". Add "--help" for more information about the arguments.
It could be a command provided by a plugin, try: dnf5 install 'dnf5-command(repository-packages)'

How can I achieve the same functionality with DNF 5? **Is there an alternative command or a workaround to remove all packages installed from a specific repository?**

I'm using Fedora Linux 41 (Workstation Edition) with Gnome desktop. Where can I find logs of package updates showing time of change and change of version for each package that was updated? I let the Software application update my computer whenever it prompts me that there are available updates. After next startup I get notification telling me that packages where updated. But where can I find this information later? I have looked from files in /var/log/dnf*.log and from Journal but could now find this information. Some sources suggest using command sudo dnf history list. But his shows only packages I have changed manually. user@host:~ $ dnf history list ID Command line Date and time Action(s) Altered 10 dnf install podman 2025-03-22 19:30:50 33 9 dnf remove podman 2025-03-22 19:28:15 33 8 dnf install odt2txt 2025-03-20 19:48:49 1 7 dnf install pdfgrep 2025-02-24 16:10:16 1 6 dnf install git-filter-repo 2025-02-06 18:40:01 1 5 dnf install python3.12 2025-01-18 16:28:12 3 4 dnf install python3.8 2025-01-14 10:25:39 3 3 dnf remove python3.12* 2025-01-14 10:24:30 2 2 dnf install python3.12 2025-01-13 12:02:36 2 1 dnf install 1password 2024-12-03 21:51:57 5 user@host:~ $ dnf history info 2 Transaction ID : 2 Begin time : 2025-01-13 12:02:36 Begin rpmdb : e7a735605a2fd46f438ab398979091536caf0c2065c383b27be5ead0a877c8ce End time : 2025-01-13 12:02:47 End rpmdb : 3088d9d71b2b98054a7bfc26ee602f7d2cd0668b970528156c12ea4beef7c0c9 User : 1000 user Status : Ok Releasever : 41 Description : dnf install python3.12 Comment : Packages altered: Action Package Reason Repository Install python3.12-0:3.12.8-2.fc41.x86_64 User updates Install python3.12-libs-0:3.12.8-2.fc41.x86_64 Dependency updates I am hoping to find information similar to /var/log/apt/history.log that is available on Debian based systems.

Fedora 41 - x86_64 - problem with libheif A few months ago, a minor change in the camera app in Apple iOS started using the HEIC image file format in a new way, which triggered a bug in the

library. By the time I ran into the problem, it had been fixed upstream and in Fedora Rawhide, but not yet in the main Fedora repos. I fetched the RPM and installed it, but now that the fix is available in the mainstream, I am getting errors:

I would like to

each of the two packages while ignoring the possible conflict. How can I do that?

Every night, my Fedora systems run a crontab script that does dnf update -y. It is actually a small Perl script that also tries to run rkhunter --propupd if necessary. I used to be able to check the timestamp on /var/lib/dnf/history.sqlite-wal to see if any modules had been updated, but since I did the version-upgrade to F41, none of the files in var/lib/dnf/ appear to have been touched. Where has the history database moved to?
