NAME

dnf5-reinstall - Reinstall Command

SYNOPSIS

dnf5 reinstall [global options] <package-spec-NPFB>...

DESCRIPTION

The reinstall command in DNF5 is used for reinstalling packages defined in package-spec-NPFB arguments.

OPTIONS

Allow removing of installed packages to resolve any potential dependency problems.

Resolve any dependency problems by removing packages that are causing problems from the transaction.

Allow skipping packages that are not possible to reinstall. All remaining packages will be reinstalled.

Enable downgrade of dependencies when resolving the requested operation.

Disable downgrade of dependencies when resolving the requested operation.


Filters installed packages by the ID of the repository they were installed from.


Packages (or their provides) explicitly specified on the command line will only be looked up in the specified repositories.
These repositories are automatically enabled.
Repository enabling and disabling still applies. Dependencies of these packages will be resolved from any enabled repository.


Download the resolved package set without executing an RPM transaction.


Store the transaction to be performed offline. See offline command <#offline-command-ref-label>, dnf5-offline(8).

Store the current transaction in a directory at the specified PATH instead of running it.
The stored transaction can be performed by the replay command <#replay-command-ref-label>, dnf5-replay(8).
Note that repository ids in the stored transaction are mangled to @stored_transaction(repo_id) this is required
because during replaying the stored repositories are recreated and they might collide with already present repositories
(this doesn't apply to the special @System repository).


EXAMPLES

Reinstall the tito package.

Reinstall the tito package from the local rpm file.
This can be useful f.e. when the given package is not available in any enabled repository.
