Dont they have different/incompatible database formats/locations where
dnf4 does not track updates via dnf5 and vice versa?
Sure, but that's not really a problem. We've had both available in
parallel for quite a long time now. The situation Kevin describes
(/usr/bin/dnf is dnf4, you can install dnf5 and get /usr/bin/dnf5
alongside it if you like) is what was the state in Rawhide for several
months before we flipped it so dnf5 provided /usr/bin/dnf , and is
still the state in F38.
