Description Jakub Filak 2015-02-02 09:53:15 UTC 
Description of problem:
I've been playing with dnf and found out I have to set dnf.Base.conf.cachedir to a desired value before I call dnf.Base.read_all_repos() otherwise my script dies with an exception. See Bug 1184943 comment 2 for more details.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf-0.6.3-2.fc21.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:
dnf uses the system directory for its cache

Expected results:
dnf uses the provided directory for its cache or dnf documentation reflects this fact (or you can switch from dnf.Base.conf.cachedir variable to dnf.Base.conf.cachedir() function and spit a warning).
