This still happens with today's F43 branched nightly compose.

Comment 2 Osama Albahrani 2025-09-12 16:56:42 UTC
This still happens with Fedora-Workstation-Live-43_Beta-1.3.x86_64.iso (Fedora 43 Beta 1.3)

Comment 3 Adam Williamson 2025-09-29 15:15:43 UTC
Can you try again with latest libdnf? This may have been a symptom of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2372978 . Thanks!

Comment 4 Osama Albahrani 2025-09-29 15:19:22 UTC
Seems to be fixed now!
