I hadn't realised Discover was using Packagekit. If it is using different mirrors to dnf and they indicate they have updates over and above what dnf has applied, does that mean dnf will catch up, or are they updates that dnf will never put on because it never sees them?
Oh, dnf will "catch up" as more mirrors are synced. You'll never have a case where an update is available via PK but never
becomes available when using dnf.
While we are on the topic of updates with dnf, I have noticed that when dnf goes to a mirror to find an update, if it can't find the package it produces a 404 error, and keeps producing that error when it goes to the next mirror, etc. Is there any way to get dnf to only produce the 404 error if the required package can't be found in any mirror?
It gets the 404 error since it uses curl to download.
I see no way to avoid what you've seen. It happens only occasionally so I never thought about it.
Hit send before I completed my thought.
I think it "wise" to do as poc has done. Get rid of packageKit and plasma-discover. Running 2 update utilities can
lead to confusion.
Again with the fast finger.
I always install dnfdragora-updater and use that for notifications of when package updates are available. But, I use dnf
from the command line to do the actual update as I have an alias to do the update via dnf and that is
easier than clicking on things and I like to see what is going on.
