Description Jens Petersen 2023-06-27 08:57:20 UTC 
If I run `dnf install ...` as a user without sudo,
dnf5 goes ahead but then fails because of permissions.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
$ dnf install somepkg
Actual Results:  
:
Repositories loaded.
Package                 Arch   Version                 Repository           Size
Installing:                                                                     
 dnf-repo               x86_64 0.5.4-1.fc39            copr:copr.fedor  32.7 MiB

Transaction Summary:
 Installing:        1 packages

Total size of inbound packages is 5 MiB. Need to download 5 MiB.
After this operation 33 MiB will be used (install 33 MiB, remove 0 B).
Is this ok [y/N]: y

Running transaction
Failed to open lock file "/run/dnf/rpmtransaction.lock": (13) - Permission denied

Expected Results:  
dnf should refuse to attempt install if the instantiation does not have sufficient privilege.

Is there an existing upstream ticket?

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