NAME

       dnf-debug - DNF debug Plugin

DESCRIPTION

       The plugin provides two dnf commands:

       debug-dump
              Writes system RPM configuration to a dump file

       debug-restore
              Restore  the  installed  packages  to  the  versions  written  in the dump file. By
              default, it does not remove already installed versions of install-only packages and
              only marks those versions that are mentioned in the dump file for installation. The
              final decision on which versions to keep on the system is left to dnf  and  can  be
              fine-tuned using the installonly_limit (see dnf.conf(5)) configuration option.

       NOTE:
          DNF and Yum debug files are not compatible and thus can’t be used by the other program.

SYNOPSIS

       dnf debug-dump [--norepos] [<filename>]

       dnf   debug-restore   [--output]   [--install-latest]  [--ignore-arch]  [--filter-types  =
       [install,remove,replace]] <filename>

ARGUMENTS

       <filename>
              File to write dump to or read from.

OPTIONS

       All general DNF options are accepted, see Options in dnf(8) for details.

       dnf debug-dump

       --norepos
              Do not dump content of enabled repos.

       dnf debug-restore

       --filter-types=[install,remove,replace]
              Limit package changes to specified type.

       --ignore-arch
              When installing package ignore architecture and install missing  packages  matching
              the name, epoch, version and release.

       --install-latest
              When installing use the latest package of the same name and architecture.

       --output
              Only  output  list  of  packages  which  will  be installed or removed.  No actuall
              changes are done.

       --remove-installonly
              Allow removal of install-only packages. Using this option may result in an  attempt
              to  remove  the  running  kernel  version (in situations when the currently running
              kernel version is not part of the dump file).
