Milestone
This is the DNF 5 equivalent of rpm-software-management/dnf#2026.
DNF 5 does not load filelist metadata by default, so it will error when trying to install packages that depend on file paths (paths in
/usr/bin
,/usr/sbin
, and/etc
are OK, however). To the user, it may not be clear what the underlying issue is, see fedora-copr/copr#3070.

--setopt=optional_metadata_types=filelists
