This is probably a duplicate of bug#1639863, which will be fixed in libdnf-0.22.0-1.

(In reply to Julius B. from comment #12) > which will be fixed in libdnf-0.22.0-1. I have installed libdnf-0.22.0-2.fc29 and still experiencing this issue.
Sorry, I mixed up the versions. libdnf-0.22.0-2 is the one that introduced the bug, libdnf-0.22.0-3 will be the one with the fix. You can check and download it already from koji: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=22852
(In reply to Julius B. from comment #15) No prob. I've install this packages from koji but unfortunately still doesn't work. Attached log file.

More info in 1640235 bug. Please the fix is applied after first command that opens swdb but it has to be run as a root. Like "sudo dnf list" *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1640235 ***
