Description Adam Martin 2025-10-30 14:15:13 UTC 
dnf5 5.2.17 fixes a critical usability bug where dnf5 was not escaping urls correctly, so packages with e.g. `+` in their name could not be installed. Currently I have to maintain a bunch of hacks to switch to calling `dnf4` on F42, but it would be much better if we updated `dnf5` on F42 to 5.2.17 like it is on F43+. 

Alternatively, picking https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf5/commit/1c3df5d0de777d40e301aef56db9cd656678732b as a patch into the build for the f42 branch could also work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to install an extra package on F42 with dnf5
2.
3.
Actual Results:
It works

Expected Results:
It fails

Additional Information:
This bug is fixed in 'upstream' https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf5/commit/1c3df5d0de777d40e301aef56db9cd656678732b.

It seems you want to fix bug #2325962.

I looked at difference between 5.2.16.0 and 5.3.17.0 and they seems to be compatible. I will try to rebase dnf5 in Fedora 42 and 41.
