Despite F259 is close to EOL, I think this is a major issue, and "dnf update" is a mandatory step before system upgrade
This is an issue with initial-setup which was fixed in F30 and later (cf. discussion in https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-5b1f5e9ef1). I will ping the maintainer again to backport the patch into the F29 branch as well.
This (in theory) actually is fixed in libreport in f29 branch: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libreport/c/4636b2975ffea213b8e5b337ad4bae1b7f9adb8a?branch=f29 But the update that landed in f29 repository was built from the master branch, not f29. https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1412856 points at git+https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libreport.git#6bf691a3db7ca894d912e4f4ccde742fab5f0f0b instead of git+https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libreport.git#8b3633598227fe33027f53f6f47ca4424f892b9f

If initial-setup is removed (with all of its dnf determined dependencies), will there be any problem upgrading to F31 soon? I.e., initial-setup was run just once a long time ago. Is there any need to keep it and its dependencies around? If initial-setup was removed, should it be reinstalled? ... Asking for a friend. ;-)
