    IOW I want to stay with DNF 5  and DNF 5 only. This system was
      installed with DNF 5 and I don't want to have a mess of all the
      cache directories DNF leaves behind and what not.
    BTW I have also asked the mass-prebuild maintainer for help:

        Hi all,
        

        As discussed[1] DNF will not be obsoleted in fedora 39. The
          side-tag with the reverted changes was merged[2,3] just now.
        You can now try the new packages by upgrading to the newer
          version of DNF5 (dnf5-5.1.1-1.fc39)
          which will not obsolete DNF (dnf-4-16.2-2.fc39) anymore.
        

        Note that, if you install the packages from the side-tag,
          DNF might not be installed because it would be obsoleted by
          DNF5-5.1.0, from rawhide repositories.

        
        Therefore, if you want to upgrade and use DNF < 5 on
          your rawhide system, here are some steps that should help you.

        
        1. If you intend to install the new packages from the
          side-tag, you might want to exclude rawhide repositories. You
          have two options:

        
        a. First, upgrade the system to the latest packages in the
          side-tag:
        $ dnf5 upgrade \

              --best --releasever=39 \

              --disablerepo=* \

              --enablerepo=side-tag --repofrompath=side-tag,'https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/repos/f39-build-side-71087/latest/x86_64/'
        Then, install DNF:
        $ dnf5 install dnf \

              --best --releasever=39 \

              --disablerepo=* \

              --enablerepo=side-tag --repofrompath=side-tag,'https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/repos/f39-build-side-71087/latest/x86_64/'
        

        b. You can achieve the same goal in one step:

          $ dnf5 install "dnf <
            5" \

              --best --releasever=39 \

              --disablerepo=* \

              --enablerepo=side-tag --repofrompath=side-tag,'https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/repos/f39-build-side-71087/latest/x86_64/'
           

        2. If you would rather not use the side-tag OR you are
          updating after the packages are available in rawhide, you
          should have no issues. The same two options follow:

        
        a. Upgrade and install:
        $ dnf5 upgrade --best
        
          $ dnf5 install dnf
              --best
          
            
            b. Or, with the one-liner:

            
        $ dnf5 install "dnf
            < 5" --best
        

        Please, don't hesitate to reach back if you cannot install
          the newest packages,
        

        Cheers,
        

        Nicola
