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?
If dnf can't find a package on any mirror, it will immediately abort
the entire transaction. Otherwise, it would have go through the whole
dependency resolution process again.
So does that then mean that we have to keep issuing the dnf upgrade
statement until the issue is resolved, which may or may not be a quick
fix depending on what the issue is?
A 404 means that a sync is ongoing and not completed yet. It's
extremely unlikely that a file will be missing on all mirrors unless
you're very unlucky. :-) In any case, you shouldn't have to wait very long.
