Description Martin Osvald 🛹 2023-07-26 06:11:24 UTC 
If you try to update packages from the local disk to a newer version, it fails with no error / "Nothing to do." msg.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have some older version of some pkg installed
2. Have a newer one present on disk and then do:

# dnf update pkg1 pkg2 ...

or 

# dnf update *
Actual Results:  
This is not working with dnf5 on f39/rawhide (dnf5-5.1.0-2.fc39.x86_64):

I have some packages installed:

~~~
# rpm -qa | egrep "cyrus-imapd|perl-Cyrus"
perl-Cyrus-3.6.0-9.fc39.x86_64
cyrus-imapd-libs-3.6.0-9.fc39.x86_64
cyrus-imapd-utils-3.6.0-9.fc39.x86_64
cyrus-imapd-3.6.0-9.fc39.x86_64
#
~~~

and I want to update it with a newer version which I built locally:

1. It does nothing reporting "Nothing to do.":

~~~
# dnf update cyrus-imapd-3.8.0-2.fc39.x86_64.rpm cyrus-imapd-libs-3.8.0-2.fc39.x86_64.rpm cyrus-imapd-utils-3.8.0-2.fc39.x86_64.rpm perl-Cyrus-3.8.0-2.fc39.x86_64.rpm
Updating and loading repositories:

Nothing to do.

2. If I try to use "*" to update the one installed it again does nothing reporting "Nothing to do.":

~~~
# dnf update *

Expected Results:  
This is working fine with dnf4 on f38 (dnf-4.16.1-1.fc38.noarch):

Comment 1 amatej 2023-07-26 06:56:16 UTC 
I think this is because of the switch of `allow_vendor_change` default configuration to false.
Your locally build packages likely have a different vendor than those installed from fedora.

This has since been reverted: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf5/pull/745
It should start working again once released.

In the meantime you can do `--setopt=allow_vendor_change=true` to workaround it.
