 Hi,
   With the upgrade to DNF5, when I issue sudo dnf upgrade, for all package upgrades it lists the package that is being replaced and lists the repository as being <unknown>, why is it specifying anything for the repository of the installed package?

The RPM database doesn’t track which repository a package was installed from, that’s handled entirely by dnf.

DNF5 uses a different database for tracking package transactions than was used by DNF4. When you updated dnf, it started using a different database, so it doesn’t know about transactions in the old DNF4 database.

It would have been nice if there was a one-time migration that could move old info to the new database, but there’s been quite a few schema changes, as well as some pretty annoying bugs (see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2315665) so I don’t expect it to ever happen.
