A single entry spams my shell during `dnf upgrade`

Problem

  1. Summary

    When I attempt to invoke the undermentioned:

    #!/usr/bin/env bash
    sudo dnf upgrade --offline --refresh -y && sudo dnf5 offline reboot -y
    

    I see the undermentioned - firefox repeated each time any of its metadata changes:

  2. It didn’t occur on my first invocation – solely the second and all subsequent attempts, after I Control+C'd it.

  3. It occurs in both bash and pwsh, in konsole and warp.

Any idea what’s occurring, and why? Or, most importantly, what I can do to remediate it?

Demonstration

I’m uploading an example to youtu.be/qf9-pauxPYY:

It’ll be visible when it’s uploaded and processed.

Environment

I’m using dnf5-5.2.8.1-3.fc41.x86_64:

Repositories loaded.

Does dnf clean all get it back to a working state?

@glb, unfortunately not, although it also doesn’t appear to be cleaning the cached packages like it should:

Thank you for the suggestion. I have to sleep due to my timezone, but I’ll be back in the morning.

Some confusion between dnf4 and dnf5 I would guess. Try cleaning them both.

I don’t think so
I have seen similar when I had a machine that repeatedly failed to complete the downloads of an update with dnf5. The only fix I found was to repeat the download and ignore the multiple repeated entries for the failed download packages until the full download of the update packages completed and the upgrade finally finished. The next update performed as expected.

This seems a bug in dnf5 when a download fails to properly complete (or has been halted manually) and the upgrade needs to be restarted. It then fails to update the display name for the package actually being downloaded and just repeats the one name over and over.

@glb, I don’t seem to have anything cached in it.

Thanks for that, @computersavvy! That’s the corroboration I need to report this at github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf5/issues/new. I think you’re right, because after a reboot, I now see the entry for blender repeated:
