You could get unable to resolve hostnames due to a networking problem with your system, your router, your ISP, the route to the host, the host itself... But the messages showing that various different domain names couldn't be resolved virtually discounts its being the end host (unless they all happened to be on the same server, but I seriously doubt that). There's every chance you struck a moment while your ISP was fiddling with things, or something failed there. > I would have also thought that if it was a broken DNS the reissuing > the dnf check-upgrade would have repeated the messages.

We can only guess that cached results were used. Unfortunately you haven't shown us anything else to diagnose the problem. Such as using the dig tool on those and other addresses. The output of ifconfig, or other commands, showing the network parameters. Was there a gateway, a DNS server, did you get a real IP address? Nor did you tell us whether anything else was working at the same time (web browsing, etc). -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
