Behaviour of running with --refresh and after "clean metadata" (or the infamous "clean all") differs, because whereas the latter forces dnf to start from scratch and download all metadata, the former only expires the metadata. It remains available in the cache for a check whether it may still be current. A similar "clean" command that doesn't remove the metadata is "clean expire-cache", but unfortunately, users always compare with "clean all" which removes too much in nearly all cases. -- 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?
