I hadn't realised Discover was using Packagekit. If it is using

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.
Thanks Ed, I thought that was the case but I was just checking.
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.
I thought that might be the case. Because I was updating a large number
of packages I was seeing this message around a dozen times on various
packages. I am assuming that if dnf gets to the situation where it can't
find the package in any mirror, that it will suspend that update and any
associated updates but continue on with the rest of the updates that are
available and check again with the next update to see if it can then
find the "missing" package?

Steve
