That would be an odd way to put it. =:-/ Would you rather prefer silence and people returning to another distribution? I mean, it is not clear yet whether mirror manager is the culprit, is it? Also, it's very unlikely that the dnf developers use only bugzilla for all project management, such as todo lists and milestone target details. Now that you've learned there is some fundamental problem, it should be put onto some internal todo list to schedule some proof-reading of the implementation and sit together with the mirror manager guys. Very important would be to verify all the stuff around the metalink XML parsing and evaluating, especially the age/timestamp/checksum/alternates. Adding more helpful debug output would be an idea, too. Certainly it should be possible to print metalink data age, which would be much more relevant than the time of the last metadata expiration check. > + output of these command sequence (to see which mirror is picked) > # export LIBREPO_DEBUG=1 && dnf update --assumeno > # export LIBREPO_DEBUG=1 && dnf update --assumeno --refresh > # dnf clean metadata > # export LIBREPO_DEBUG=1 && dnf update --assumeno This does not print "which mirror is picked". It does not print anything helpful at all. I would expect debug information to include some details about the metalink server response, the metadata checksum and the metadata age, and stuff like that. | Librepo version: 1.7.16 with CURL_GLOBAL_ACK_EINTR support (libcurl/7.44.0 NSS/3.19.3 Basic ECC zlib/1.2.8 libidn/1.32 libssh2/1.6.0 nghttp2/1.2.0) | lr_download: Target: file:///etc/dnf/dnf.conf (-) | select_next_target: Selecting mirror for: file:///etc/dnf/dnf.conf | prepare_next_transfer: URL: file:///etc/dnf/dnf.conf | add_librepo_xattr: Cannot set xattr user.Librepo.DownloadInProgress (fd: 5): Operation not supported | lr_download: Downloading started | check_transfer_statuses: Transfer finished: file:///etc/dnf/dnf.conf (Effective url: file:///etc/dnf/dnf.conf) | Fedora - Rawhide - Developmental packages for t 1.4 MB/s | 43 MB 00:29 | Adobe Systems Incorporated 23 kB/s | 1.8 kB 00:00 | Last metadata expiration check performed 0:00:00 ago on Tue Aug 18 12:25:42 2015. | Dependencies resolved. > Michael, have you run all these commands at one moment or after 1 day > breaks?
