"Changed directories are not supported yet" when attempting to install anything via dnf install

I'm not sure what to do here once again. Nothing will install, and there seems to be little to no documentation on these errors. ive done ostree reset and uninstall or whatever the commands are, and have had no luck. hopefully someone can give me a solution other than "reinstall again"

You should not be using DNF And you should especially not be installing build tools on your host Please read our software guide, this is a textbook example of something that should be done in distrobox
