I've updated the DNF packager stack for Mageia 6 to fix several issues discovered post-release. In addition, it adds the ability to use short subcommand aliases for some common subcommands and to create foreign architecture installation roots.

This update can be tested by just doing some regular package management actions, as documented in the Using DNF wiki page: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Using_DNF

Also, here are the short subcommand aliases:
* "dnf in", equivalent to "dnf install"
* "dnf rm", equivalent to "dnf remove"
* "dnf ri", equivalent to "dnf reinstall"
* "dnf mc", equivalent to "dnf makecache"
* "dnf sh", equivalent to "dnf shell"
* "dnf se", equivalent to "dnf search"
* "dnf up", equivalent to "dnf upgrade"
* "dnf um", equivalent to "dnf upgrade-minimal"
* "dnf dsync", equivalent to "dnf distro-sync"
* "dnf dg", equivalent to "dnf downgrade"

In addition, to test the new foreign architecture installroot feature, the following procedure is suggested (on x86_64 or i586):

1. Install qemu-user-static on the host system
2. Restart systemd-binfmt.service to have new binfmt take effect
2. Create the directory of your foreign arch chroot, suggested /tmp/mga6armtest
3. Copy /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static into /usr/bin subdirectory of foreign arch chroot directory (e.g. /tmp/mga6armtest/usr/bin)
4. Copy /usr/lib/binfmt.d/qemu-arm-static.conf into /usr/lib/binfmt.d subdirectory of foreign arch chroot directory (e.g. /tmp/mga6armtest/usr/lib/binfmt.d)
5. Run DNF as root to install into the directory. Here's a suggested command:

# dnf --installroot=/tmp/mga6armtest --forcearch=armv7hl --repofrompath=mga6rel,http://mirrors.kernel.org/mageia/distrib/6/armv7hl/media/core/release/ --repofrompath=mga6up,http://mirrors.kernel.org/mageia/distrib/6/armv7hl/media/core/updates/ --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=mga6rel --enablerepo=mga6up --setopt=install_weak_deps=False install basesystem-minimal dnf

6. Test the chroot to see if a program runs. Here's a suggested command (run as root): chroot /tmp/mga6armtest /usr/bin/uname -r -m


Suggested Advisory:
=========================================

The DNF package manager stack has been updated to address several issues.

For libsolv, there was one issue:

* libsolv was not properly processing multiple Obsoletes in a single transaction (rhbz#1470922)

For dnf, there were a few issues:

* "dnf list updates" was listing all possible updates, rather than only the latest one (rhbz#1423472)
* "dnf repoquery --obsoletes <package>" did not return Obsoletes defined in the package (rhbz#1457368)

For dnf-plugins-core, there was one issue:

* "dnf config-manager --addrepo" returned 0 on failure (rhbz#1439514)

For dnf-plugins-extras, there was one issue:

* dnf snapper plugin didn't create a snapshot before the transaction and after the transaction to provide a useful recovery snapshot of the system (rhbz#1248806)

In addition, as part of the update for dnf to 2.6.2, it gained the ability to use short subcommand aliases for some common subcommands and to create foreign architecture installation roots. Please see the wiki page on using DNF for more details: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Using_DNF
