Yes, but this still highlights the final question as "sudo dnf download symlinks-1.7-11.fc41.src" does the download but as shown above "sudo dnf install symlinks-1.7-11.fc41.src" won't do the install.On Fri, Dec 6, 2024 at 8:30 PM Stephen Morris<steve.morris...@gmail.com> wrote:Hi, I have enabled the Fedora source repository so that I can install the symlinks source.l Having enabled the source repository I issued the command "sudo dnf install symlinks-1.7-11.fc41.src" (the binary package tells me the source is symlinks-1.7-11.fc41.src.rpm) and got the following messages:sudo dnf install symlinks-1.7-11.fc41.src Updating and loading repositories: Repositories loaded. Failed to resolve the transaction: Argument 'symlinks-1.7-11.fc41.src' matches only source packages.

Then issue the command "sudo dnf install symlinks-1.7-11.fc41.src*" gives me the following messages: sudo dnf install symlinks-1.7-11.fc41.src* [sudo] password for steve: Updating and loading repositories: Repositories loaded. Package Arch Version Repository Size Installing: symlinks src 1.7-11.fc41 fedora-source 15.2 KiB Transaction Summary: Installing: 1 package Total size of inbound packages is 26 KiB. Need to download 26 KiB. After this operation, 15 KiB extra will be used (install 15 KiB, remove 0 B). Is this ok [y/N]: n Is DNF actually working properly when with * in the package name the install is actually installing what I asked it to install in the first command?Works for me: sudo dnf download --source symlinks
How do I find where the source has been installed to when under dnfdragora when I search for symlinks in either names or descriptions I only get a reference to the binary package even though I have installed the source package as shown by "dnf info symlinks" which shows both the binary and source packages as being installed? Especially when I would have thought the source would have been installed to a sub_folder of /usr/src, but there isn't a symlinks sub_folder of /usr/src, it only has akmods, annobin, debug and kernels sub_folders.
