I did check this out and as you have suggested there is data in both sets of paths but the data in /var/tmp/dnf-<your_user_name>-<hash> is not maintained by the current dnf package.On Wed, 2024-11-27 at 08:38 +1100, Stephen Morris wrote:Which then begs the question, if I issue the command "sudo dnf clean all" which cleans out the system state, does it also clean out the current user's data if it exists as well, or do you have to issue the command not under sudo as well for that to happen?There's an old joke: Patient: Doctor, doctor, it hurts when I do this. Doctor: Well, stop doing that, then. But serious, try out the command both ways, then stop doing it if it worries you where it's storing the info. *Very* old info suggested: /var/cache/dnf is when dnf is used with superuser /var/tmp/dnf-<your_user_name>-<hash> is when you run it as you Have a look, see if that's still the case.
Looking at /var/cache/dnf begs the question of where is it specified for each repository how many cached copies dnf is going to keep. For the Fedora, Updates, Fedora Cisco, Rpmfusion-Free and Rpmfusion-Nonfree it seems to be keeping 5 copies, but for non-Fedora repos it seems to only be keeping 1 copy?
