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.
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.
I normally use dnf to apply updates and use dnfdragora to browse the
repositories to see what is available and what might be useful to me. I
haven't installed dnfdragora-updater (I had forgotten that was
available) as yet, but I should as discover is notifying of updates.
The only reason I went to Discover to check updates after putting on the
updates that dnf provided, was I was once in a situation where I was
trying to use a product that wasn't installed and I was given
installation instructions to install it via Discover, but I couldn't
find it in Discover nor dnf so I installed it via a flatpak
(unfortunately I don't remember what the product was).

Steve
