Description Sascha Zantis 2015-05-19 12:09:49 UTC

Description of problem:
dnf search <packagename> does not use the same cache sudo dnf search <packagename> does. I have dnf-makecache.timer enabled to update the cache in background, but that only seems to update the cache in /var/cache/dnf, not /var/tmp/dnf-<username>-<randomString>

I know that I can use dnf -C search <packagename> to use the system's cache but being able to disable the user cache if this is not needed (single user system) would be a great improvement in my opinion.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf-0:1.0.0-1.fc22

If this is possible right now, I didn't find anything in the manpages of dnf or dnf.conf.

Hi, closing as duplicate of bug 1185741. That way you will download repo metadata only once and access the actual ones no matter if you are running as root or normal user.
