Hi all, in the process of polishing the upgrade path for the nodejs metapackage proposal [1], I've created a COPR [2] to ensure we can cleanly upgrade from the current nodejs packages (that currently ship NodeJS v22.x) to the versioned package names (nodejs22) and meta-package (nodejs) combination. However, dnf keeps behaving differently than I would expect, and I'm at the end of ideas of what might be wrong.
What I would expect: `dnf install nodejs` will select nodejs metapackage for install, which pulls nodejs22 as a dependency. What happens: `dnf install nodejs` installs nodejs22 directly. Can any dnf/libsolv guru take a look at the COPR and spec files included and let me know if I'm doing something obviously wrong and thus confusing dnf, or otherwise explain what is happening? Thanks in advance!
