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
It's the ordering of the command and how DNF is parsing it that's the
problem.
Compare, the following two commands, running in an f41 container:
[root@94a0d274cbcb /]# dnf5 --allowerasing upgrade
> Unknown argument "--allowerasing" for command "dnf5". Add "--help" for
more information about the arguments.
To:
[root@94a0d274cbcb /]# dnf5 upgrade --allowerasing
Updating and loading repositories:
Repositories loaded.
Nothing to do.
With DNF5 "--allowerasing upgrade" does not work. "upgrade --
allowerasing" does work.
I tried to make that clear by showing both the failing scenario, and the
working scenario. And making *Unknown argument "--allowerasing" for
command "dnf5"*. bold, but your mail agent might not be rendering that
clearly. Basically the first form is passing --allowerasing to dnf5, the
2nd form is passing it to dnf5 upgrade and that modularity of parsing
appears to me more rigid and proscriptive with DNF5.
Wow. It did not sink in. This especially did not make
sense to me as when I do it from Raku (Perl 6), it
lets me parse the command line in any order I want
(use Getopt::Long; # get-options).
Thank you!
