My Fedora 22 system prompted me that there was a new coreutils package for update. Rather than clicking "restart and install" in the GUI I tried to: # dnf install coreutils Using metadata from Tue Apr 21 19:54:02 2015 (1 day, 21:50:24 hours old) Package coreutils-8.23-8.fc22.x86_64 is already installed, skipping. Ok fair enough, the updating system is using a separate cache to dnf. Not ideal, but anyway how do I update the dnf cache? I tried: # dnf check-update coreutils Using metadata from Thu Apr 23 17:42:54 2015 (0:01:19 hours old) coreutils.x86_64 Given the above found the new coreutils, I thought an install would now work, though unfortunately it doesn't. Shouldn't dnf be looking at the timestamps of the repo in each invocation (without -C) and updating the metadata if needed? I presume that's what yum does since I never had an issue with this. I tried explicitly cleaning the cache like this: # dnf --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=updates clean metadata Cleaning repos: updates 5 metadata files removed 2 dbcache files removed How do I refresh the cache? Why should I need to mess with it anyway? thanks, Pádraig. p.s. If using yum legacy, does that in fact use another (3rd) cache? -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
