I'm pretty sure that we can, at some point in the future, drop the offending patch from the RPM package and all of this will be redundant. It just requires a bit of work to make sure that older use cases (mostly alien) don't break due to this, which might require a bit of development on RPM itself. It's on my TODO list for very rainy and boring days, but unfortunately there's almost always a truckload of other things to do, so I keep dragging it out. Mihai
I fully agree on removing the RPM patch that causes all of our issues on packages depending on it. If needed, I'm willing to be part of reviewing what would be the impact of returning to a standard RPM package on Debian and to help into solving those issues. Don't hesitate to ping me for that. With respect to the original issue, correct me if I'm wrong, but the severity of the bug has marked DNF to be removed. DNF works for at least simple actions like downloading packages from repositories. For example, we use it in Qubes OS in order to download updates for a Fedora system configuration from a Debian system. Best regards, Frédéric
