Description Tim Coote 2025-10-02 19:46:10 UTC
Puppet issue 9506 (https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/issues/9506), "puppet agent not working with dnf5" raised in Oct 2024 was fixed in the OpenVox repo in Mar 25 (https://github.com/OpenVoxProject/openvox/pull/20). But it hasn't made it to the main repo.

This means that puppet actions that invoke `dnf` on Fedora 42 (or 41, I believe) fail as the the `ruby` code uses `-d` and `-e` flags which were deprecated for `dnf` v 4 and which are no longer available with `dnf5`.

I've classified this as security sensitive as it prevents installations based on a current Fedora release from being updated on a timely basis.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 2 Tim Coote 2025-10-07 12:34:40 UTC
I can see that this seems to work: v. good responsiveness - but I cannot get at it via Rawhide - I'm still getting `8.10.0-2.fc43` for my fed 42 vm in the Rawhide repo.

I'm keen to validate this change. Is there anything that I should be doing to get it?

(sorry if this is a blindingly obvious question)
