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

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


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


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


       --allow-downgrade
              Enable downgrade of dependencies when resolving the requested operation.


       --no-allow-downgrade
              Disable downgrade of dependencies when resolving the requested operation.


       --installed-from-repo=REPO_ID,...
              Filters installed packages by the ID of the repository they were installed from.


       --from-repo=REPO_ID,...
              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.


       --from-vendor=VENDOR,...
              List of vendors separated by commas or spaces. Globs are supported (e.g., --from-vendor='Fedora\ project, vendorA, vendorB*, vendorC').
              Packages (or their provides) explicitly specified on the command line will only be looked up from the specified vendors.
              The vendor change check is bypassed for these packages.
              The vendor is ignored or vendor change policies (if allow_vendor_change=0) will still be used for packages that satisfy dependencies.


       --downloadonly
              Download the resolved package set without executing an RPM transaction.


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


       --transient
              Applicable only on bootc (bootable containers) systems. Perform
              transactions using a transient overlay which will be lost on the
              next reboot. See also the persistence <#persistence-options-
              label> configuration option.

       --store=PATH
              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

       dnf5 reinstall tito
              Reinstall the tito package.


       dnf5 reinstall ~/Downloads/tito-0.6.21-1.fc36.noarch.rpm
              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.
