When the standard output of `dnf repoquery` is parsed or redirected to a log, it contains: Updating and loading repositories: fedora 100% | 9.3 MiB/s | 22.0 MiB | 00m02s Repositories loaded. This makes it hard to process. Please move such output to stderr, where it was in dnf4. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf repoquery --whatsupplements tox > output 2. cat output Actual Results: Updating and loading repositories: fedora 100% | 82.3 KiB/s | 16.5 KiB | 00m00s Repositories loaded. pypy3.9-devel-0:7.3.11-4.3.9.fc39.x86_64 python3-devel-0:3.12.0~b4-1.fc39.i686 python3-devel-0:3.12.0~b4-1.fc39.x86_64 python3.10-devel-0:3.10.12-1.fc39.i686 python3.10-devel-0:3.10.12-1.fc39.x86_64 python3.11-devel-0:3.11.4-2.fc39.i686 python3.11-devel-0:3.11.4-2.fc39.x86_64 Expected Results: pypy3.9-devel-0:7.3.11-4.3.9.fc39.x86_64 python3-devel-0:3.12.0~b4-1.fc39.i686 python3-devel-0:3.12.0~b4-1.fc39.x86_64 python3.10-devel-0:3.10.12-1.fc39.i686 python3.10-devel-0:3.10.12-1.fc39.x86_64 python3.11-devel-0:3.11.4-2.fc39.i686 python3.11-devel-0:3.11.4-2.fc39.x86_64 Even with -q, the output is: fedora 100% | 117.3 KiB/s | 16.5 KiB | 00m00s pypy3.9-devel-0:7.3.11-4.3.9.fc39.x86_64 python3-devel-0:3.12.0~b4-1.fc39.i686 python3-devel-0:3.12.0~b4-1.fc39.x86_64 python3.10-devel-0:3.10.12-1.fc39.i686 python3.10-devel-0:3.10.12-1.fc39.x86_64 python3.11-devel-0:3.11.4-2.fc39.i686 python3.11-devel-0:3.11.4-2.fc39.x86_64
I have looked into it and in the old dnf only the repolist, search and repoquery commands redirect this output to stderr. It seems kind of confusing. For processing we plan to add a machine readable format output: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf5/issues/512 I think that would be a better solution.
A machine-readable format output sounds great, but please don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Please restore the dnf4 behavior here.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle. Changing version to 39.
