This doesn't work for *any* DNF subcommand. It's a side-effect of the way DNF parses command-line arguments. Try, for example, "dnf repoquery --help", or "dnf update --help". The correct command for this is "dnf help [subcommand]": [wwoods@metroid ~]$ dnf help system-upgrade system-upgrade [OPTIONS] [download --releasever=VERSION|reboot|clean] Prepare system for upgrade to a new release alias: fedup For detailed help, *some* commands accept "--help-cmd" (e.g. repoquery, download, builddep, and other stuff from dnf-plugins-core). Most subcommands (install, upgrade, clean, erase, upgrade, group, etc.) don't. "dnf system-upgrade" by itself will show the help message; I'll add "--help-cmd" for consistency with the rest of the plugins. Beyond that, there's nothing I can really do here. (In reply to Will Woods from comment #1) > This doesn't work for *any* DNF subcommand. It's a side-effect of the way > DNF parses command-line arguments. OK, I expected as much ;) > Beyond that, there's nothing I can really do here. I think assigning this BZ to the dnf folks to raise awareness about this apparenty design flaw in dnf would be appropriate. Added 'help' and '--help-cmd': https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf-plugin-system-upgrade/commit/3d43430 Feel free to file a new bug (or clone this one) to track redesigning how DNF handles argument parsing for its plugins, but this one will be closed by the next release of the plugin. BAH WHOOPS. Re-assigning back to the plugin as intended. Sorry 'bout that. dnf-plugin-system-upgrade-0.7.0-1.fc22 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 22. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-e00b75e39f dnf-plugin-system-upgrade-0.7.0-1.fc23 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 23. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-69bef6b9ed dnf-plugin-system-upgrade-0.7.0-1.fc23 has been pushed to the Fedora 23 testing repository.
