Synopsis

dnf5 swap [options] <remove-spec> <install-spec>

Options

--allowerasing
Allow removing of installed packages to resolve any potential dependency problems.
--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.
--offline
Store the transaction to be performed offline. See offline command, dnf5-offline(8).
--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, dnf5-replay(8).
