Description Jan Pokorný [poki] 2020-06-03 00:20:31 UTC
All as ordinary user:

Case 1:

$ dnf repoquery
Last metadata expiration check: 0:41:50 ago on Wed 03 Jun 2020 01:31:35 AM CEST.
0ad-0:0.0.23b-17.fc33.x86_64
0ad-data-0:0.0.23b-4.fc32.noarch
0xFFFF-0:0.8-3.fc32.x86_64
2048-cli-0:0.9.1-9.fc32.x86_64
[...]
[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/tmp/dnf/cache/expired_repos.json'

$ echo $?
> 1

Why this?  Fact that some cache update wasn't possible is totally
minuscule.  Moreover, initial line is clear, so one is free to
use his/her deliberation to decide if data are still relevant.

Case 2:

$ dnf --releasever=32 --installroot=/var/lib/f32  install systemd passwd dnf

$ echo $?
1

Again, why this?  Error condition without any message whatsoever.

IMHO, you have the reporting or not swapped (in addition to the
fact that Case 1 shall likely not return execution failure).

Comment 1 amatej 2020-06-08 11:31:35 UTC
dnf.conf and /etc/yum.repos.d

Comment 2 amatej 2020-06-08 11:32:51 UTC
Sorry I added the comment by mistake I wanted to just set the flags.

Comment 3 Jan Pokorný [poki] 2020-06-09 22:04:29 UTC
Will post the former nonetheless:

[main]
gpgcheck=1
installonly_limit=3
clean_requirements_on_remove=True
best=False
skip_if_unavailable=True
cachedir=/run/dnf/cache
install_weak_deps=False

Regarding yum.repos.d, it would only be relevant if
some caching parameters were tweakable with per-repo
granularity, I think.

Let me know if there are any inputs to provide.

To be explicit, the commands above where run as an
ordinary user.
