[ SNIP]

My hunch is that it couldn’t resolve the host name for the repo.

But seriously, was there something about these errors or other effects that made you think it was something other than DNS being broken?

    I would have thought that if my wifi connection had been temporarily
    disconnected, hence the data couldn't be retrieved, I would have
    gotten popups from fedora around the disconnect/reconnect.
    I would have also thought that if it was a broken DNS the reissuing
    the dnf check-upgrade would have repeated the messages.
    With the reissuing of the command not producing any messages about
    refreshing the repositories in question and saying there were
    updates to put on, it had refreshed the repositories even though it
    got the error, and there were actually no updates?
    
    regards,
    Steve
