When I try to reinstall kernel-core-6.5.0-0.rc2.20230721gitf7e3a1bafdea.20.fc39.x86_64 with "dnf-3 reinstall kernel-core-6.5.0-0.rc2.20230721gitf7e3a1bafdea.20.fc39.x86_64", dnf complains about there being too many arguments during the %preun stage. The package still manages? somehow to reinstall properly, but if you keep trying to reinstall it, it will just keep on adding the same version over and over again to the "Reinstalled:" section. I can reproduce this on a brand new untouched install in a VM. I am sending just the output from dnf-3, because dnf5 gives no verbose output. I would be happy to add additional output if there is a way to get it.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to reinstall kernel-core with dnf-3
2. dnf-3 complains about the %preun stage

Actual Results:  
kernel-core doesn't reinstall properly because of an issue in the %preun stage

Expected Results:  
kernel-core reinstalls properly

$ sudo dnf-3 reinstall kernel-core -y
