Greetings, I have several fedora 32 virtual machines all suffering from the same issue after the latest kernel security update. Dnf is throwing the following error
# dnf
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/dnf", line 57, in <module>
from dnf.cli import main
File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/dnf/__init__.py", line 30, in <module>
import dnf.base
File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/dnf/base.py", line 29, in <module>

from . import _conf
ImportError: /lib64/libdnf.so.2: undefined symbol: modulemd_module_stream_v2_is_static_context
I haven’t seen this particular error anywhere else. It may be due to the fact that I was (foolishly) using Linode VPS kernels rather than booting from Grub2, then ran a kernel upgrade using DNF. So the machine was forcibly being booted into something earlier than the latest kernel but I ran the kernel upgrades anyway.
I have since switched to grub2 and am booting into the correct kernel, but the dnf error persists
# uname -a
Linux hostname 5.11.7-100.fc32.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Mar 17 19:14:38 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I have tried booting into previous kernels and dnf still has the same error.
Has anyone heard of this? What would be the easiest course of action to recover DNF (other than a fresh install)
Thanks
