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??
moved the yumdb directory to yumdb.old and then did a dnf reinstall dnf-data and it did not create the yumdb directory.
ran the dnf remove dnf-data, and it gives error and doesn't list what it would modify.
In /var/lib/dnf/yumdb.old find . | wc -l 45700
This ended up leaving only subdirectories.
find . | grep -v "fc29|fc28|fc27|fc26" | grep -v "-15-7" | grep -v "keys-29" | grep -v "29-" | grep -v flash-plugin | grep -v google-chrome | grep -v adobe-release
Almost all files had fc29 -fc26 find . | grep -v "fc29|fc28|fc27|fc26" | wc -l 137
So must have been created in process of upgrading from fc29 to fc30??
Interesting.
