    dnf installation failed.
    If the failure was due to a space issue, increase the size of /opt and re-run script again.
    Another reason for failure could be mixing of Toolbox packages and packages from other sources.

    Downloaded dnf_bundle from below link, but getting above error, kindly help!!!
