Hi All,

On my stand-alone home workstation, that is a link to a link to /usr/lib/fedora-release: lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 14 Apr 11  2024 /etc/redhat-release -> fedora-release lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 25 Apr 11  2024 /etc/fedora-release -> ../usr/lib/fedora-release

  It uses
    /usr/share/licenses/fedora/fedora-release-common*

On my stand-alone home workstation, there's no such thing:

-bash.6[~]: ls -l /usr/share/licenses/fedora/fedora-release-common*

-bash.7[~]:

There's not even a /usr/share/licenses/fedora directory:

-bash.7[~]: ls -l /usr/share/licenses/fed*
/usr/share/licenses/fedora-logos:

Yes, based on my F41 upgraded machine that has yet to have any of the post-install processes run, that is what I would expect and I would expect rpm -qa /*fedora-release-common/* to produce nothing? If this is what your stand-alone machine is producing then I would expect it to be fine?

regards,
Steve
