I think this is because of the switch of `allow_vendor_change` default configuration to false. Your locally build packages likely have a different vendor than those installed from fedora. This has since been reverted: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf5/pull/745 It should start working again once released. In the meantime you can do `--setopt=allow_vendor_change=true` to workaround it. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 2219624 ***
