I tried both dnf & dnf5 on my three Fedora installations, which, for the most part, only have the minimal development tools needed to build and test our software (Cube, OTF2, OPARI2, Score-P, Scalasca). Everything seemed to work fine without any errors. Also tried to update one of the installations and that also went (mostly) smooth. Pipewire crashed after the first reboot but worked fine afterwards.

Best,
Jan

Do you want to make Fedora 41 better? Please spend 1 minute of your time and try to run:

dnf --releasever=41 --enablerepo=updates-testing --assumeno distro-sync

This command does not replace `dnf system-upgrade`, but it will reveal potential problems.

You may also run `dnf upgrade` before running this command.


The `--assumeno` will just test the transaction, but does not make the actual upgrade.


In case you hit dependency issues, please report it against the appropriate package.

Or against fedora-obsolete-packages if that package should be removed in Fedora 40. Please check existing reports against fedora-obsolete-packages first:

and also there is already lots of "Fails to install" (F40FailsToInstall) reports:

One note:

* you may want to run the same command with dnf5 to help test new dnf. Do not forget to add --best otherwise DNF5 hides all problems.


For convenience here is the relevant part of Fedora Guidelines on renaming and replacing packages:

Thank you
