Description Boyan Anastasov 2020-07-30 06:52:07 UTC

Description of problem:
The output of dnf history list shows too long lines when redirected to file or piped to less:
dnf history list|less
or
dnf history list > file

The output is with long lines, and you need to scroll very much actually to see any output.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf-4.2.23-1.fc32.noarch

How reproducible:
Run:
dnf history list - the output looks fine

Compare the output with
dnf history list|less
or
dnf history list > output_history.txt

Additional info:
You can workaround the problem with less, but it would be better to be like it was before (It probably changed around F32/color output maybe is the problem?).
dnf history list|less
and press -S, and then Page-Down/Page-Up to see the output

Comment 1 nsella 2020-10-26 18:01:02 UTC

There is a fix here [1] for a similar issue. The solution should fix redirection to `less` and to file.
I am closing the bug as duplicate. If the solution does not fit feel free to reopen it.
