dnf5 repoclosure [options] [<pkg-spec>...]

The repoclosure command allows you to analyze package metadata from multiple repositories. It checks all dependencies of the packages and provides a list of packages that have unresolved dependencies.

By default, repoclosure considers all enabled repositories when checking dependencies. However, you can customize the set of repositories by using standard DNF5 options such as --repo, --enable-repo, or --disable-repo.

--arch <arch>

Query only packages for specified architecture, can be specified multiple times (default is all compatible architectures with your system).

--best

Check only the newest packages per arch.

--check=REPO_ID,...

Specify repositories to check, can be specified multiple times (default is all enabled repositories).
Accepted values are repository ids, or a glob of ids.

--json

Request JSON output format for machine-readable results.

--newest

Check only the newest packages in the repos.

<pkg-spec>

Check closure for this package only.

dnf5 repoclosure --repo rawhide --check myrepo

dnf5 repoclosure --json

• dnf5 repoclosure --json

The command returns a JSON array, each element describing one package with unresolved dependencies. Each package object contains the following fields:

• package (string) - Package NEVRA.
• repo (string) - Repository identifier.
• unresolved_dependencies (array) - List of unsatisfied requirements (strings).

For empty results, dnf5 repoclosure --json will return [] (empty array).

If unresolved dependencies are found, the command exits with code 1. If any package specifications fail to resolve, error messages are printed to stderr and the command exits with code 1.
