I created a patch https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/1540 that restore the original functionality. Also the patch will not remove the running kernel. Do you require anything else from devel-team (dnf with applied patch or anything else?) *** Bug 1774666 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Can we include this in a RHEL release as well for customers? Restoring previous qa_ack+ as agreed earlier. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.

Description of problem: dnf remove --oldinstallonly does not remove old kernels Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libdnf-0.35.1-9.el8_1.x86_64 dnf-4.2.7-7.el8_1.noarch How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install multiple kernels 2. # dnf remove --oldinstallonly Actual results: Error: No old installonly packages found for removal. Expected results: dnf should remove the oldest "installonly" pkgs and leave only the latest Additional info: # man dnf dnf [options] remove --oldinstallonly Removes old installonly packages, keeping only installonly_limit latest versions. I can see there are installonly packages here: # dnf repoquery --installonly Updating Subscription Management repositories. kernel-0:4.18.0-147.0.3.el8_1.x86_64 kernel-0:4.18.0-80.el8.x86_64 kernel-core-0:4.18.0-147.0.3.el8_1.x86_64 kernel-core-0:4.18.0-80.el8.x86_64 kernel-modules-0:4.18.0-147.0.3.el8_1.x86_64 kernel-modules-0:4.18.0-80.el8.x86_64 According to yum2dnf, this is supposed to replace package-cleanup --oldkernels so I would expect it to remove old kernels. # man yum2dnf Detailed table for package-cleanup replacement: ┌─────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────────┐ │package-cleanup --dupes │ dnf repoquery --duplicates │ ├─────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────┤ │package-cleanup --leaves │ dnf repoquery --unneeded │ ├─────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────┤ │package-cleanup --orphans │ dnf repoquery --extras │ ├─────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────┤ │package-cleanup --oldkernels │ dnf repoquery --installonly │ ├─────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────┤ │package-cleanup --problems │ dnf repoquery --unsatisfied │ ├─────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────┤ │package-cleanup --cleandupes │ dnf remove --duplicates │ ├─────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────┤ │package-cleanup --oldkernels │ dnf remove --oldinstallonly │
