Every upgrade and remove finishes like this

Ask Fedora

I have found strange this behaviour as every upgrade and remove process finish with this error:

Running trigger-install scriptlet: glibc-common-0:2.40-3.fc41.x86_64warning: posix.fork(): .fork(), .exec(), .wait() and .redirect2null() are deprecated, use rpm.spawn() or rpm.execute() instead
warning: posix.wait(): .fork(), .exec(), .wait() and .redirect2null() are deprecated, use rpm.spawn() or rpm.execute() instead

What is that?

PS: It was a direct upgrade from F40 to F41.

That is a bug in dnf5 and has had a bug filed. (I don’t have the bug reference).
There are several threads on it.

It appears to be harmless since it is warnings only.

It is fixed by the new upgraded glibc package.

Doing the update today still gets those messages. Hopefully the packages upgraded will solve that but cannot test until the next time I do a package install or upgrade.

If you did dnf upgrade --refresh glibc first, then you would not see the message for the next dnf upgrade.
