dnf fails - write main() failed to reload written solv file

[douglax]

Suddenly dnf started to fail. At first it was working ok but after a few operations it fails.

'''
[root@moximo ~]# dnf group install "Development Tools" -y
write_main() failed to re-load written solv file

Following advise from this link , I issued yum remove libsolv and noticed that cockpit-package-kit is marked as dependency.

'''
[root@moximo ~]# yum remove libsolv
