I don't see any makecache service or timer in any of the dnf5 packages on Fedora 41. Is that intentional, or is it a regression? I can't tell, because https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ReplaceDnfWithDnf5 says that "dnf5 makecache" has to work, but it doesn't say anything about the timer being present.
Side note related to dnf makecache - it appears that "dnf makecache --refresh" no longer actually forces a refresh. I'm not sure if anything depended on this behaviour, but it might break things. I found that the only way to force a refresh with dnf5 right now is to "dnf clean" and then try again. (This might be a bug.)
