With DNF5 "--allowerasing upgrade" does not work. "upgrade --allowerasing" does work. I tried to make that clear by showing both the failing scenario, and the working scenario. And making *Unknown argument "--allowerasing" for command "dnf5"*. bold, but your mail agent might not be rendering that clearly. Basically the first form is passing --allowerasing to dnf5, the 2nd form is passing it to dnf5 upgrade and that modularity of parsing appears to me more rigid and proscriptive with DNF5.
