Hi, as you may be aware, the switch to DNF 5 has been postponed, likely to Fedora 41. In Fedora 39, the
dnfcommand will be provided by thednfpackage, and DNF 5 will not be installed by default.DNF 5 will be available in the Fedora 39 repositories, but KIWI should still require DNF 4 since it will be the default package manager. Sorry for the flip-flop.
FYI, in the meantime, we have set up a testing COPR repository that provides a version of DNF 5 that obsoletes DNF 4. It can be used to test software in an environment similar to the future release of Fedora (whichever that will be) when DNF 5 replaces DNF 4:
Enabling the COPR and upgrading your system should replace DNF 4 (the
dnfpackage) with DNF 5 (dnf5), and/usr/bin/dnfwill be DNF 5.
