Description of problem: dnf --help and dnf man page are inconsistent in some command line options specification, e.g. --color, --bzs, --cves, --destdir, --disableexcludepkgs are only mentioned in --help output, on the other hand, --cve, --bz are only in the man page. All of these options work as expected. There could be more such inconsistencies. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dnf-4.0.9.2-1.el8 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. man dnf 2. dnf --help 3. compare
This is actually a compatibility feature. DNF/YUM4 works exactly as YUM3: yum --help | grep '\--bz' --bzs=BZS Include packages needed to fix the given BZ, in man yum | grep '\--bz' --bz=BZS Would you mind me closing this bug NOTABUG? Or would you prefer to diverge from the compatibility behavior and make the change?
I'd prefer to have both resources (man and --help) consistent and describing all accepted options. Thanks.
