In my case:
On Debian trixie, i build a minimal Oracle Linux 9 distribution in a container.

  dnf install oraclelinux-release-el9 dnf \
  --releasever=9 --nodocs -4 --assumeyes \
  --installroot=/var/lib/machines/oel9.home.lab \
  --setopt=install_weak_deps=False --nogpgcheck  \
  --setopt=module_platform_id=platform:el9 \
  --repofrompath=ol9_baseos_latest,"https://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL9/baseos/latest/x86_64"

After dnf install completed, i run

systemd-nspawn -D /var/lib/machines/oel9.home.lab dnf --releasever=9 list installed

dnf not show list of installed packages.

I need again re-install my installed packages.

  systemd-nspawn -D /var/lib/machines/oel9.home.lab \
  dnf install --assumeyes --releasever=9 \
  --setopt=ol9_appstream.module_hotfixes=true --allowerasing  \
  oraclelinux-release-el9 dnf systemd systemd-udev ....

When it is done, dnf will show the list of installed packages.

Is it possible to avoid this?

Hi, at first glance, I don't see a reason why dnf shouldn't display the installed packages.

After dnf install completed, i run

At this point, could you try running dnf list installed --releasever=9 --installroot=/var/lib/machines/oel9.home.lab? Alternatively, you can chroot into /var/lib/machines/oel9.home.lab and run dnf list installed there. I tested a similar use case locally (with different packages), and these commands worked correctly for me.

Could you test it out, here's an case ?

# Create container
dnf install                                    \
--releasever=9 --nodocs -4 --assumeyes         \
--installroot=/var/lib/machines/oel9.home.lab  \
--setopt=install_weak_deps=False --nogpgcheck  \
--setopt=module_platform_id=platform:el9       \
--repofrompath=ol9_baseos_latest,"https://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL9/baseos/latest/x86_64" \
oraclelinux-release-el9 systemd systemd-udev systemd-container initscripts \
openssl passwd glibc-langpack-en dnf iproute iputils net-tools tree nano \
lsof hostname unzip tzdata basesystem ca-certificates tar file \
filesystem less

# Set password for root
systemd-nspawn -D /var/lib/machines/oel9.home.lab passwd

# Boot container
systemd-nspawn -b -D /var/lib/machines/oel9.home.lab

# Login and run
dnf list installed --releasever=9

In fresh created container, dnf - not listed installed packages

I've tried to replicate the issue in the Fedora Rawhide VM as the host system. I've needed to add a cracklib-dicts package to setup the password later. I've also changed the installroot directory, but everything else was kept. The installed packages are listed there:

[root@test ~]# dnf list installed --releasever=9

Perhaps one of us is doing something wrong.

For the sake of the experiment, let's take a third-party image from https://hub.nspawn.org/images/.

So, let's try it:

# Import keys
gpg --no-default-keyring \
       --keyring=/etc/systemd/import-pubring.gpg \
       --fingerprint

gpg --no-default-keyring \
       --keyserver=keys.openpgp.org \
       --keyring=/etc/systemd/import-pubring.gpg \
       --search 9E31BD4963FC2D19815FA7180E2A1E4B25A425F6

# Import the image
machinectl pull-tar https://hub.nspawn.org/storage/debian/sid/tar/image.tar.xz debsid.home.lab

# set root password
systemd-nspawn -D /var/lib/machines/debsid.home.lab passwd

# start our container
systemd-nspawn --resolv-conf=bind-host -b -D /var/lib/machines/debsid.home.lab

# Install the necessary packages in the freshly created container
apt update && apt install -y dnf systemd-container

# Let's install Fedora 40
# Create the necessary folder
mkdir -p /var/lib/machines/f40.home.lab/

# fix invocation environment
cd /
for i in proc sys dev; do mkdir /var/lib/machines/f40.home.lab/$i;done
for i in proc sys dev; do mount -o bind $i /var/lib/machines/f40.home.lab/$i; done

dnf install passwd dnf fedora-release util-linux systemd \

  --repofrompath=fedora40,"https://ask4.mm.fcix.net/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/"

#
for i in proc sys dev; do umount /var/lib/machines/f40.home.lab/$i; done

# Try to get a list of installed packages
systemd-nspawn -D /var/lib/machines/f40.home.lab dnf list --installed --releasever=40
#
chroot /var/lib/machines/f40.home.lab

dnf list --installed --releasever=40

I don't see any installed packages ...

I have to reinstall all the packages, only then I get a list of installed packages

# Again install
systemd-nspawn -D /var/lib/machines/f40.home.lab dnf install --releasever=40 -y passwd dnf fedora-release util-linux systemd

# Returns a list of installed packages
systemd-nspawn -D /var/lib/machines/f40.home.lab dnf list --installed --releasever=40

Sorry, but this is too complex for testing. We need a simple reproducer to analyse the potential issue. In the first OL9 example, have you tried running the list --installed --installroot=... immediately after creating the installroot as I've suggested? Or doing a chroot into the installroot and running it from there? Because this was working for me. It could also be some issue in the host environment...
