The only thing I've seen is when packageKit is telling me there are
updates but when dnf
runs it says no updates are available. I attribute that to
packageKit using different mirrors than
dnf.
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?
It's not that they use different mirrors. The mirror manager provides
somewhat randomized mirrors when asked, so at different times, you can
end up looking at different mirrors. And it's possible, if you check
during the syncing time, that different mirrors have different
available updates.
I thought dnf had a list of mirrors and the first time dnf was run it
used the first mirror in the list, and kept using that mirror until it
got a 404 situation on a package whereby it would go to the next mirror
and if the package was obtained from that mirror, it would continue
using that mirror for all updates until that produced a 404 situation,
in which case it would move to the next mirror and so on.
I've been finding it nothing unusual for Discover monitoring process to
tell me there were updates available, even after using dnf to put on all
updates it can see, and go and issue a dnf upgrade and have dnf tell me
there was nothing to do.
