Hi, at first glance, I don't see a reason why dnf shouldn't display the installed packages.
At this point, could you try running |

Could you test it out, here's an case ? # Create container
dnf install \
--releasever=9 --nodocs -4 --assumeyes \
--installroot=/var/lib/machines/oel9.home.lab \
--setopt=install_weak_deps=False --nogpgcheck \
--setopt=module_platform_id=platform:el9 \
--repofrompath=ol9_baseos_latest,"https://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL9/baseos/latest/x86_64" \
oraclelinux-release-el9 systemd systemd-udev systemd-container initscripts \
openssl passwd glibc-langpack-en dnf iproute iputils net-tools tree nano \
lsof hostname unzip tzdata basesystem ca-certificates tar file \
filesystem less
# Set password for root

# Login and run
dnf list installed --releasever=9In fresh created container, dnf - not listed installed packages |
I've tried to replicate the issue in the Fedora Rawhide VM as the host system. I've needed to add a |

Perhaps one of us is doing something wrong. For the sake of the experiment, let's take a third-party image from https://hub.nspawn.org/images/. So, let's try it: # Import keys
gpg --no-default-keyring \
--keyring=/etc/systemd/import-pubring.gpg \
--fingerprint
gpg --no-default-keyring \
--keyserver=keys.openpgp.org \
--keyring=/etc/systemd/import-pubring.gpg \
--search 9E31BD4963FC2D19815FA7180E2A1E4B25A425F6
# Import the image
machinectl pull-tar https://hub.nspawn.org/storage/debian/sid/tar/image.tar.xz debsid.home.lab
# set root password
systemd-nspawn -D /var/lib/machines/debsid.home.lab passwd
# start our container
systemd-nspawn --resolv-conf=bind-host -b -D /var/lib/machines/debsid.home.lab
# Install the necessary packages in the freshly created container
apt update && apt install -y dnf systemd-container
# Let's install Fedora 40
# Create the necessary folder
mkdir -p /var/lib/machines/f40.home.lab/
# fix invocation environment
cd /
for i in proc sys dev; do mkdir /var/lib/machines/f40.home.lab/$i;done
for i in proc sys dev; do mount -o bind $i /var/lib/machines/f40.home.lab/$i; done
dnf install passwd dnf fedora-release util-linux systemd \
--installroot=/var/lib/machines/f40.home.lab \
--nogpgcheck --releasever=40 \
--setopt=install_weak_deps=False \
--assumeyes -4 --nodocs --forcearch=x86_64 \
--repofrompath=fedora40,"https://ask4.mm.fcix.net/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/"
#

# Try to get a list of installed packages

#
chroot /var/lib/machines/f40.home.lab
dnf list --installed --releasever=40I don't see any installed packages ... I have to reinstall all the packages, only then I get a list of installed packages # Again install

Sorry, but this is too complex for testing. We need a simple reproducer to analyse the potential issue. In the first OL9 example, have you tried running the |

I just ran into this issue. (I'll assume the root cause is the same) The problem is that host's Simply running "find <path_to_installroot> -name rpmdb.sqlite" should give you the path host's |
Thanks! I was at the same problem for some hours until this solved it. In my case it was placed in |
In my case:
On Debian trixie, i build a minimal Oracle Linux 9 distribution in a container.
dnf install oraclelinux-release-el9 dnf \ --releasever=9 --nodocs -4 --assumeyes \ --installroot=/var/lib/machines/oel9.home.lab \ --setopt=install_weak_deps=False --nogpgcheck \ --setopt=module_platform_id=platform:el9 \ --repofrompath=ol9_baseos_latest,"https://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL9/baseos/latest/x86_64"After dnf install completed, i run
dnf not show list of installed packages.
I need again re-install my installed packages.
When it is done, dnf will show the list of installed packages.
Is it possible to avoid this?
