something is not working when I install dnf5-plugins

to reproduce:

1. I use a container with these steps

FROM fedora:39 
RUN sed -i "/tsflags=.*/d" /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
RUN dnf update -y
RUN dnf install -y man dnf5 dnf-plugins-core

2. Then I build my rpms and run the container
   2.a. man dnf -> DNF man pages
   2.b. man dnf-copr -> DNF Plugins Core man pages
   2.c. man dnf5 -> DNF5 man pages

3. Install dnf5 update -y /rpms/dnf5/aarch64/*aarch64.rpm /rpms/dnf/noarch/*noarch.rpm /rpms/dnf-plugins-core/noarch/*noarch.rpm
   3.a. man dnf -> DNF5 man pages
   3.b. man dnf4-copr -> DNF Plugins Core man pages
   3.c. man dnf4 -> DNF man pages
   3.d. man dnf-copr -> nothing

Works until here!

4. Install dnf5 plugins dnf5 install -y dnf5-plugins
   4.a. man dnf -> nothing !!!
   4.b. man dnf4-copr -> DNF Plugins Core man pages
   4.c. man dnf4 -> DNF man pages
   4.d. man dnf5-copr -> DNF5 plugins
   4.e. man dnf5 -> DNF5 man pages

tricky. one more thing: would it be ok to have man dnf and man dnf5 pointing at the same manpage?

Because now the PR aims at:

• man dnf -> DNF5 man pages
• man dnf5 -> nothing
• man dnf4 -> DNF man pages
• man dnf-copr -> DNF5 plugins man pages
• man dnf5-copr -> nothing
• man dnf4-copr -> DNF plugins man pages

But what about having also:

• man dnf5 -> DNF5 man pages
• man dnf5-copr -> DNF5 plugins man pages

we are providing a simlink anyway 🤔

Install dnf5 plugins dnf5 install -y dnf5-plugins

This step is faulty, I should install plugins from the built rpms, which have the dnf5_obsoletes_dnf flag on. It's not an issue

good, we can think about this comment in the next step
