We upgraded all of our internal servers to Fedora 41 after a power outage yesterday — had a number of issues to resolve (the liblockdev legacy config reverted so OpenHAB no longer could use USB serial devices, the physical server was swapping 11GB of data even though it had 81GB of memory free, and our Gerbera installation requires some libspdlog.so.1.12 which was updated to version 1.14 with the Fedora upgrade.

The last issue was more challenging to figure out because evidently DNF is now DNF5 and instead of throwing an error like “hey, new version dude! Use the new syntax” when you use an old command to list what is installed … it just says “No matching packages to list”. Like there are no packages installed? Since I’m using bash, openssh, etc … that’s not true.

Luckily, the new syntax works just fine. dnf repoquery –installed

Also:

dnf5 repoquery –available
dnf5 repoquery –userinstalled
