With Fedora 41, DNF was upgraded to version 5, breaking the command line API of "dnf config-manager"[^0]. Unfortunately, DNF 5's addrepo does not work with a simple URL anymore, but requires to construct a .repo file. Furthermore, no information about trusting the Icinga signing key was available, resulting in one being unable to install packages. This was already the case for Fedora 40, still using DNF 4. This change is identical to another one in the Icinga 2 repo[^1].

but requires to construct a .repo file
We actually already provide that file on packages.icinga.com. For reference, in our container images, we do the following which works across all Fedora versions:
rpm --import https://packages.icinga.com/icinga.key
curl -o /etc/yum.repos.d/ICINGA-release.repo https://packages.icinga.com/fedora/ICINGA-release.repoSo I'd suggest using that instead as it's a simpler command and needs no version distinction.

Good catch, thanks! I have changed the PR accordingly to get rid of the version-dependent cases.
