[doc] `dnf clean` should function or warn when run as normal user
Last modified: 2014-02-26 08:53:21 EST
Operations executing dnf as root do not appear to operate on the same cache/metadata as those executed as a regular user. for example: $ dnf clean all $ sudo dnf clean all $ dnf check-update #metadata is refreshed $ sudo dnf check-update #metadata is refreshed again $ dnf --version 0.4.14 Installed: dnf-0:0.4.14-99.487.20140218git441c092.fc20.noarch at 2014-02-19 01:16 Built : at 2014-02-18 12:31 Installed: rpm-0:4.11.2-1.fc20.x86_64 at 2014-02-18 02:49 Built : Fedora Project at 2014-02-13 08:41
you should install dnf-plugins-core package that will install noroot plugin which will then check the root privileges.
Parag, your commend seems better suited for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1066747 :)
This works as expected but we didn't document it well. Upstream commit dfd08eb remedies this.
