It's not a different edition, it's a completely new program from DNF4 used in older Fedoras. > 1. Why the command name "erase" is no more possible? Because DNF5 simplified a user interface and removed many duplicate commands retained only for compatibility. "erase" was already a compatibility alias in DNF4 and was not even listed in the usage help: $ dnf --help | grep '^erase' $ dnf --help | grep '^remove' remove remove a package or packages from your system While it's technically possible to add the "erase" alias to DNF5, DNF5 team, in general, considers proliferating aliases hurmfull: It makes understanding DNF commands as well as maintaining the code base more difficult. > 2. The F41 messages stll are of old style.

It's indeed inconsistent. Even DNF4 use "remove" on other places: # LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 dnf remove dontpanic Dependencies resolved. ======================================================================================================= Package Architecture Version Repository Size ======================================================================================================= Removing: dontpanic x86_64 1.02-13.fc39 @fedora 49 k Transaction Summary ======================================================================================================= Remove 1 Package Freed space: 49 k Is this ok [y/N]: y Running transaction check Transaction check succeeded. Running transaction test Transaction test succeeded. Running transaction Preparing : 1/1 Erasing : dontpanic-1.02-13.fc39.x86_64 1/1 Verifying : dontpanic-1.02-13.fc39.x86_64 1/1 Removed: dontpanic-1.02-13.fc39.x86_64 Maybe the reson for printing "Erasing" was to mimic rpm tool messaging. I will try changing the transaction text to "Removing" in DNF5. -- Petr
