Actually here the behavior is exactly the same as with dnf4. ❯ dnf swap dnf5 acpi Last metadata expiration check: 1:44:50 ago on Po 20. března 2023, 14:30:34. Error: Problem: problem with installed package dnf5-plugins-5.0.7-20230313005754.13.g8893b905.fc37.x86_64 - package dnf5-plugins-5.0.7-20230320005934.38.gae642bd8.fc37.x86_64 requires dnf5(x86-64) = 5.0.7-20230320005934.38.gae642bd8.fc37, but none of the providers can be installed . . . What you need to do is add `--allowerasing` cmdline option (for both dnf4 and dnf5). But it would be nice if dnf5 could print a hint to the user.
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 38 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 38 on 2024-05-21. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '38'. 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. Note that the version field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora Linux 38 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 38 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2024-05-21. Fedora Linux 38 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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 Linux please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see the version field. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an active release. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
This issue is still valid. We should print an `--allowerasing` hint.
