The line "Last metadata expiration check: [...]" is not printed by tail at all. It is printed by dnf to standard _error_ output. You will see it even if you redirect dnf's standard output to /dev/null: $ dnf repoquery --requires bash --recursive --resolve >/dev/null Last metadata expiration check: [...] You can use `dnf --quiet ...` to suppress the message.
