error: Changed directories are not supported yet (i'm only trying to install a package with dnf)

you can use (or a different fedora package name) for instance or to list all the system level installed stuff but the tooling around seeing what's installed can be a bit iffy

not to mention you might have stuff from homebrew/flatpak/exported from a distrobox/etc installed as a user
