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.
I am confused. When I tried using --allowerasing,
I got:
Unknown argument "--allowerasing"
The --allowerasing allowed me to remove the older of two
rpm of the same revision but different releases
# rpm -qa systemd
systemd-254.18-1.fc39.x86_64
systemd-255.13-1.fc40.x86_64
