dnf.transaction.TransactionItem is documented as containing a set of packages to be removed and/or installed and two methods to access these (installs() and removes()). Unfortunately not a single thing in that description is actually true. In reality dnf.transaction.TransactionItem is really a dnf.db.history.RPMTransactionItemWrapper. It represents a _single_ package being modified. It mimics many of the methods of the package itself, as well as some extra methods to determine its role in the overall transaction. A decision needs to be made as to what is public API in this class, and the documentation rewritten.
See also bug 1709359 which has a request on what we'd like to get out of a future TransactionItem API.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1693511 ***
That bug seems to be closed. Something that can be opened up?
From what I can see this has not been resolved. And bug 1693511 is still secret. So I'm reopening this.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 34 development cycle. Changing version to 34.
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 34 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 34 on 2022-06-07. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of '34'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' to a later Fedora Linux version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora Linux 34 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version prior to this bug being closed.
Fedora Linux 34 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2022-06-07. Fedora Linux 34 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.
