Description Jens Petersen 2023-03-24 10:19:29 UTC

Description of problem:
I was trying out dnf5 and forgot to prefix sudo for upgrade command.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf5-5.0.7-1.fc39

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf upgrade

Actual results:
[149/149] Total                                                                             100% |   9.2 MiB/s | 183.7 MiB |  00m20s
Verifying PGP signatures

Running transaction
filesystem error: cannot create directories: Permission denied [/run/dnf]

Expected results:
Should complain it is not running with sufficient privileges rather than attempt transaction blindly.

Also voting to bring back the `update` alias for `upgrade` ;-) :-)

Comment 2 Fedora Release Engineering 2023-08-16 08:14:59 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle.
Changing version to 39.

Comment 3 Aoife Moloney 2024-11-08 10:50:21 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 39 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 39 on 2024-11-26.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '39'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 39 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.
