TLDR: The argument (if any) is a package-specification not a
repo file name.

The man page (dnf5-list) says in the synopsis:

    dnf5 list [options] [<package-spec>...]

and in the examples it shows:

    dnf5 list kernel*

(which it presumes users will know to properly escape in
their choice of shell, e.g. dnf list 'kernel*' or dnf list
kernel\* for sh shells.)

It also points to dnf5-specs(7) for more details on the
patterns specification.
