System package installation failed: Cannot load plugins: priorities.conf

Problem description

When building a Rawhide image with https://pagure.io/fedora-asahi/kiwi-descriptions the build fails early with KiwiInstallPhaseFailed: System package installation failed: Cannot load plugins: priorities.conf (full log). This has been happening since May 10.

Expected behaviour

The build should not fail

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

git clone https://pagure.io/fedora-asahi/kiwi-descriptions 
./builder.py build minimal

I think this was caused by the change in #2538. @Romain-Geissler-1A, could you look at this?

Hi,

Do you still have this issue ? I can't reproduce this issue right now.

I am starting a container on an aarch64 machine using podman remote like this:

podman -c aarch64 run -t -i --rm --pull=always --privileged quay.io/fedora/fedora:rawhide

Then inside this container:

[root@88fa12b71f35 /]# dnf install -y git kiwi python3-boto3
... (output removed)
[root@88fa12b71f35 /]# git clone https://pagure.io/fedora-asahi/kiwi-descriptions

[root@88fa12b71f35 /]# cd kiwi-descriptions/
[root@88fa12b71f35 kiwi-descriptions]# ./builder.py build minimal 2>&1 | tee build.log

And the build.log file is attached here: build.log

From what I see in my case, kiwi doesn't seem to have such issues and it goes past the build.log you provided, with another blocking error.

This doesn't seem to be a problem anymore? @davide125 can you please confirm?

@Romain-Geissler-1A @Conan-Kudo
I can still see this issue when the host has an older version of dnf4 installed. e.g dnf-4.10.0-bp155.3.10.noarch
I was just stumbling over this by accident and wanted to share the info here.

I guess we do not really support this anymore ? but wanted to double check before we close

Looking at https://pagure.io/fedora-asahi/kiwi-descriptions/blob/rawhide/f/config.xml this still sets:

<packagemanager>dnf</packagemanager>

This translates to dnf4

[Conan-Kudo]

Yeah I need to switch it to dnf5 there, but I haven't yet.
