Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

This seems similar to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1772953, but that claims to have been fixed long ago, so :shrug:.
This is happening after upgrading from CentOS 7 to CentOS 8.

I am not longer able to reproduce this issue. I don't know what was going on before.
I.e., I was unable to find a dnf command tonight which, when I ran it, produced the error output above. I honestly don't remember what commands previously produced that output; I didn't make note of it since it was happening so often that I just assumed it was every command, but I'm not sure what was true.
I just successfully did "dnf module install perl:5.26", but to be clear, even before I did that tonight I was unable to reproduce the issue. :shrug:
Here's the information you asked for just in case it is still useful:
jik4:/var/lib!1227# rpm -qf /etc/centos-release
centos-stream-release-8.6-1.el8.noarch
jik4:/var/lib!1228# rpm -qa dnf
dnf-4.7.0-5.el8.noarch
jik4:/var/lib!1229#
It may be relevant that centos-stream-repos was updated after I filed this issue:
Name : centos-stream-repos
Version : 8
Release : 4.el8
Architecture: noarch
