Re: What replaces --allowerasing in dnf5?

[Will McDonald <wmcdonald@xxxxxxxxx>]

+1 for the "stop this madness, clean reinstall time camp", fwiw. That said...

If you read the dnf5 man page, you'll see that the individual subcommands have been broken out...

[root@94a0d274cbcb /]# man dnf5

COMMANDS
     Here is the list of the available commands.  For more details see the separate man page for the specific command, f.e. man dnf5 install.

Then read the dnf5 upgrade man page:

[root@94a0d274cbcb /]# man dnf5 upgrade

NAME
       dnf5-upgrade - Upgrade Command

SYNOPSIS
       dnf5 upgrade [options] [<package-spec>|@<group-spec>|@<environment-spec>...]

OPTIONS
       --allowerasing
              Allow erasing of installed packages to resolve any potential dependency problems.

Putting 2+2 together, this seems like it's just a change to the way dnf parses the command and then the command's options.

[root@94a0d274cbcb /]# dnf5 --allowerasing upgrade
Unknown argument "--allowerasing" for command "dnf5". Add "--help" for more information about the arguments.

[root@94a0d274cbcb /]# dnf5 upgrade --allowerasing

Updating and loading repositories:
Repositories loaded.

Nothing to do.

What replaces --allowerasing?
