It's better than without "--refresh", but "dnf clean metadata" is required for full updates available. Once you figured that out, you can write a script and then get what you want. All other users come here every couple of weeks and will ask the same question again: Why doesn't yum/dnf fetch all updates? And that's indeed a good question, why "dnf upgrade" called interactively on a shell does such an excessive caching so that people are wondering if it is working properly at all. If I do "ls" on my shell prompt, I also expect the actual contents of the current directory and not some cached output six hours ago. :-) Greetings, Andreas -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
