Hi, I have just done a sudo dnf upgrade on F34 which I think upgraded 1311 packages. After the update finished I rebooted F34 and then ran discovery and it was still telling me there was 628 MB of F34 Platform updates to put on, which I did put on. Why is dnf not installing all updates that are available? Is there a configuration that needs to be done to alleviate this that is not done in an "out of the box" install, or, is this telling me that we shouldn't be doing updates with dnf we should be using Discovery instead?
I've not looked at what goes on during the upgrade process. That is going from a previous release of Fedora to a later version of Fedora. I suspect that the upgrade process just compares what you have on your system with what packages are available in the fedora.repo (which doesn't change) and doesn't look at the fedora-updates.repo since looking in both places and keeping track of what package should be upgraded from which repo would be much more work. Especially in the case of where an update of some packages may change dependencies or pull in packages not used previously. So, it would be a much simpler process to upgrade from the released repo and then do normal updates later. Hey, at least it isn't like Windows. I have a Windows 10 VM that I rarely use. When I do use it, and updates are applied, it is a constant cycle of "Download updates, apply updates, reboot" and rinse/repeat -- Remind me to ignore comments which aren't germane to the thread. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
