Description

This is a problem in the dnf package, as the dnf4 provides is supposed to be present. Switching to the right package. dnf package is obsolete by dnf5 <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SwitchToDnf5>. But DNF5 is not DNF4. Hence it does not provide dnf4. rpmdistro-repoquery-0^20231102git539d4c0-4.fc41.noarch should not depend on "dnf4". It should either depend on "dnf5" if it wants DNF5, or on "python3-dnf" if it wants DNF4. `/usr/bin/dnf4` exists on my request as part of that change to dnf5. All I'm saying is that "dnf4" as a virtual package name should exist too. (In reply to Neal Gompa from comment #3) > `/usr/bin/dnf4` exists on my request as part of that change to dnf5. Yes. > All I'm saying is that "dnf4" as a virtual package name should exist too. Why? I cannot see any recommendation like that in Fedora packaging guidelines. What does make /usr/bin/dnf4 so special comparing to other /usr/bin/* files? The original bug report is about a wrong dependency. Using python3-dnf, the real package name, is the best the user should do.

Since we're now being told we shouldn't use file deps, I would like a dnf4 provides. > Since we're now being told we shouldn't use file deps
