Tail prints the first row in 'tail -n <N>'
Command executed:
$ dnf repoquery --requires bash --recursive --resolve | grep -E

Expected result: command to only print N rows, which means without printing
the first row.
The line "Last metadata expiration check: [...]" is not printed by tail
at all. It is printed by dnf to standard _error_ output. You will see
it even if you redirect dnf's standard output to /dev/null:
$ dnf repoquery --requires bash --recursive --resolve >/dev/null
Last metadata expiration check: [...]
You can use `dnf --quiet ...` to suppress the message.
Thank you Kamil for explaining the issue.
I'm closing this as "notabug".
