Interesting. I did a dnf whatprovides /var/lib/dnf/yumdb
and it came up with the dnf-data..
It is installed on all 4 machines, but 3 don't have the
yumdb directory??
Perhaps it is created during the transistion of a system
that was using yum to dnf, so it is only created at that
point??
moved the yumdb directory to yumdb.old and then did a
dnf reinstall dnf-data and it did not create the yumdb
directory.
ran the dnf remove dnf-data, and it gives error and
doesn't list what it would modify.
In /var/lib/dnf/yumdb.old
find . | wc -l
45700
This ended up leaving only subdirectories.
find . | grep -v "fc29\|fc28\|fc27\|fc26" | grep -v "\-15-7" |
grep -v "keys-29" | grep -v "29-" | grep -v flash-plugin |
grep -v google-chrome | grep -v adobe-release
Almost all files had fc29 -fc26
find . | grep -v "fc29\|fc28\|fc27\|fc26" | wc -l
137
So must have been created in process of upgrading from
fc29 to fc30??
Interesting.
