package installation incomplete on lxc fedora 39 container

I want to install a package on a lxc container. One path from the package is missing after successful installation:

path: /usr/share/doc/pdns

ll -a /usr/share/doc/pdns/schema.mysql.sql
ls: cannot access '/usr/share/doc/pdns/schema.mysql.sql': No such file or directory

In the container I run the install command in debug mode:

dnf install pdns-backend-mysql --rpmverbosity=debug

I see these suspicious lines:

D: pdns-backend-mysql-4.8.3-1.fc39.x86_64: Header SHA1 digest: OK
D:   install: pdns-backend-mysql-4.8.3-1.fc39.x86_64 has 12 files

D: skipnstate 100644  1 (   0,   0)  3139 /usr/share/doc/pdns/schema.mysql.sql

skipnstate indicates that the directory /usr/share/doc/pdns is being skipped because it is already in the desired state. But it is not.

Installing the same package on another regular fedora 39 host works as expected.

Apparently the container version of Fedora prevents installation of documentation by default. This post has the fix (remove/override the dnf tsflags=nodocs directive), as well as a shell command to re-install all the affected packages to include documentation.
