Hello everyone,

Just a heads up that a new DNF version (4.19.0) is on its way to Rawhide
and is expected to land within the next several hours. This update
brings a system-wide
change <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DNFConditionalFilelists>
related to not downloading filelists metadata by default.

>From a Fedora user perspective, there won't be any changes in the way you
operate the DNF package manager. The only difference is that typically
there will be less metadata downloaded. Since all packages in Fedora should
have already eliminated file dependencies requiring filelists metadata, no
issues with official repositories are anticipated.

If you encounter any problems while resolving a transaction with a
third-party package that doesn't align with the Fedora Packaging
Guidelines, DNF will provide a hint to the user. In such cases, you can
manually fix the situation by explicitly requesting the filelists metadata
using the `--setopt=optional_metadata_types=filelists` CLI parameter.

Wishing everyone smooth and faster updates!

Best regards,
Jan
