Thanks. I have 3 other machines in room that are running Fedora 35, and none of them have the /var/lib/dnf/yumdb directory at all.
This is strange, because that directory belongs to the dnf-data package, and I'm sure you have that installed.
Interesting. I did a dnf whatprovides /var/lib/dnf/yumdb and it came up with the dnf-data..
It is installed on all 4 machines, but 3 don't have the yumdb directory??
Perhaps it is created during the transistion of a system that was using yum to dnf, so it is only created at that point??
I don't know, but I'd be surprised if the content of a package depended on the way the system was installed. Just out of curiosity, what does rpm -V dnf-data say? Does it signal that /var/lib/dnf/yumdb directory is missing?
FWIW I get this:
[simon@localhost ~]$ rpm -V dnf-data .M....... g /var/lib/dnf/groups.json .M....... g /var/lib/dnf/history .M....... g /var/log/hawkey.log ______________________________
I get this. rpm -V dnf-data S.5....T. c /etc/dnf/dnf.conf .M....... g /var/lib/dnf/groups.json .M....... g /var/log/dnf.librepo.log .M....... g /var/log/dnf.log .M....... g /var/log/dnf.rpm.log .M....... g /var/log/hawkey.log [root@setzconote ~]# ls /var/lib/dnf/ -l total 22944 -rw-rw-r--. 1 root root 9677 Nov 5 2017 groups.json drwxrwxr-x. 3 root root 4096 Jun 20 2019 history.old -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 18374656 Jun 30 21:58 history.sqlite -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 32768 Jun 30 21:58 history.sqlite-shm -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 5038792 Jun 30 16:28 history.sqlite-wal drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 May 3 2021 modulefailsafe drwxr-xr-x. 26 root root 4096 Jun 6 15:44 repos drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Jun 6 17:56 system-upgrade -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1878 Dec 2 2020 system-upgrade.json drwxr-xr-x. 40 root root 4096 Jun 7 2018 yumdb.old
I renamed the yumdb subdirectory to yumdb.old and subdirectory history to history.old
history.old has drwxrwxr-x. 382 root root 12288 Jun 19 2019 2017-11-05 -rw-------. 1 root root 247648256 Jun 20 2019 history-2017-11-05.sqlite
The subdirectory 2017-11-05 has a ton of numbered subdirectores with tiny config-main and config-repo files??
