# dnf5-repoclosure(8)

Repoclosure Command

## NAME

dnf5-repoclosure - Repoclosure Command

## SYNOPSIS

**dnf5 repoclosure \[options\] \[\<pkg-spec\>...\]**

## DESCRIPTION

The **repoclosure** command allows you to analyze package metadata from multiple repositories. It checks all dependencies of the packages and provides a list of packages that have unresolved dependencies.

By default, **repoclosure** considers all enabled repositories when checking dependencies. However, you can customize the set of repositories by using standard DNF5 options such as **--repo**, **--enable-repo**, or **--disable-repo**.

## OPTIONS

- **--arch \<arch\>**

  ```
  Query only packages for specified architecture, can be specified multiple times (default is all compatible architectures with your system).
  ```

- **--best**

  ```
  Check only the newest packages per arch.
  ```

- **--check=REPO\_ID,...**

  ```
  Specify repositories to check, can be specified multiple times (default is all enabled repositories).
  Accepted values are repository ids, or a glob of ids.
  ```

- **--json**

  ```
  Request JSON output format for machine-readable results.
  ```

- **--newest**

  ```
  Check only the newest packages in the repos.
  ```

- **\<pkg-spec\>**

  ```
  Check closure for this package only.
  ```

## EXAMPLES

- **dnf5 repoclosure**

  ```
  Display a list of unresolved dependencies for all enabled repositories.
  ```

- **dnf5 repoclosure --repo rawhide --arch noarch --arch x86\_64**

  ```
  Display a list of unresolved dependencies for rawhide repository and packages with architecture noarch and x86_64.
  ```

- **dnf5 repoclosure --repo rawhide zmap**

  ```
  Display a list of unresolved dependencies for zmap package from rawhide repository.
  ```

- **dnf5 repoclosure --repo rawhide --check myrepo**

  ```
  Display a list of unresolved dependencies for myrepo, an add-on for the rawhide repository.
  ```

- **dnf5 repoclosure --json**

  ```
  List all unresolved dependencies in JSON format for machine-readable results.
  ```

## JSON OUTPUT

- •

  **dnf5 repoclosure --json**

The command returns a JSON array, each element describing one package with unresolved dependencies. Each package object contains the following fields:

- •

  **package** (string) - Package NEVRA.

- •

  **repo** (string) - Repository identifier.

- •

  **unresolved\_dependencies** (array) - List of unsatisfied requirements (strings).

For empty results, **dnf5 repoclosure --json** will return **\[\]** (empty array).

If unresolved dependencies are found, the command exits with code **1**. If any package specifications fail to resolve, error messages are printed to **stderr** and the command exits with code **1**.
