First, I agree the "helpful" message could and should be better. I have not upgraded to F41 but from what I have seen on the list, it seems to me that: 1) dnf5 is implemented in python 2) dnf5 is using "argparse" to parse command line options 3) dnf5 is using "argparse subparsers" to implement the dnf5 commands This means that options are going to be positional relative to the commands. Until "install" is encountered on the command line, there *Is no* "--skip-unavailable" option. Likewise, it might not accept "-y" *after* "install". Assuming dnf5 doesn't completely override the "argparse" help formatting, you could confirm by trying "dnf --help" and comparing to "dnf install --help".
