Empty lines in dnf history

Ask Fedora

Hello, running dnf history I get some “empty” lines.

ID     | Command line                                            | Date and time    | Action(s)      | Altered

     6 | install libreoffice-langpack-it libreoffice-draw git    | 2020-08-26 15:28 | Install         |   31 >

Obviously I don’t remember what operation I performed in correspondence of the empty lines.
What these empty lines could mean?

Ok, but why like in this case some fields (Releasever and Command Line) are empty?

For instance, dnf history 11

...
Releasever     : 33
Command Line   : install x2goclient remmina

Let me guess, it was not CLI but something using libdnf or PackageKit, e.g. dnfdragora.

Or in other cases also GNOME Software, right?
Good catch. :+1:
