Re: dnf update must be wrong...

I see, something similar was happening to me with DNF, libreoffice and the debug packages for Libre Office.

I had to uninstall the debug packages for LO, update Libre Office and then install again the debug packages for Libre Office.

Now i understand this, it seems that we need to wait for it to get solved : /

Dnf / Yum and PackageKit (Apper / Gnome Software / etc) don't use the same caches. One can tell you new updates are available, while the other doesn't, because the first one just updated its information but the other hasn't yet.  In this case, PackageKit updated itself and saw updates, but dnf hadn't yet. The reverse can happen too.

There's ongoing work to unify the caches, but its still WIP.

Don't know about your other question. Probably a PolKit policy.

Hi,

There is something clearly broken with updates (dnf?) but I can't tell what:

1. In KDE I get a notification that there are 6 packages to update. So, as root, I run:


[root@localhost ~]# dnf repolist
Last metadata expiration check performed 2:22:09 ago on Mon Nov 16 19:27:21 2015.

[root@localhost ~]# dnf update

Nothing to do.

Hmmm... no packages to update. But notification lists 6 packages, including ffmpeg and VirtualBox. So I run:

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qi VirtualBox
Name        : VirtualBox
Version     : 5.0.8
Release     : 1.fc23
...


2. Let's then click install in "Software Updates" notification pop-up. Guess what! Packages are downloading and installing.

Let's check:

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qi VirtualBox
Name        : VirtualBox
Version     : 5.0.10
Release     : 1.fc23
...

What??? Why hasn't dnf picked on this and updated VirtualBox?

Bonus question: what makes it possible for regular user to install packages via some widget in KDE? How to disable this?

Regards,
Dariusz
