That report is old but interesting. I tried:

$ sudo tracer --show-resource=packages
Date           Time      Package name                            
-------------------------------------------------------
$

For some reason it can't find a list of packages, which would explain a
lot. The we have:

$ ls -l /var/lib/dnf/history.sqlite 
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 2646016 Oct 31 09:29 /var/lib/dnf/history.sqlite

i.e. the 'history' database may be out of date. Nevertheless, 'dnf5
history' shows updates to today, so maybe not.
