Problem
In the transition from DNF 4 to DNF 5 as part of Fedora 41, most plugins have been reimplemented and moved around. Currently, the package metadata is not optimally set to do the best job of ensuring as many plugins as possible that you had installed before upgrading are still installed after the upgrade.
You can discuss this issue here.
Cause
Many plugins initially weren’t reimplemented at all, and have been added only gradually over time. We did not yet systematically map out what metadata needs to be set in the packages to do the best job of ensuring the right packages get installed as part of the upgrade to keep plugins available.

Workarounds
Most DNF plugins provide a command - e.g. dnf config-manager or dnf copr. If you know the name of the command you need, you can run:
dnf install "dnf5-command(commandname)"
to install it.
E.g. to install the plugin that provides dnf copr, run:
dnf install "dnf5-command(copr)"
