But that got changed at some point. The problem is that if the update fails for any reason, it reports that everything is up to date, last check for updates at the time the update failed. It is https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=763566. Note that bug was reported with F23, you can tell by the desktop background in my screenshot. It's still broken today I think. In practice, updates quite often fail for me. I think PackageKit gives up if a mirror is missing a package, which is not an infrequent occurrence, whereas dnf just moves on to the next mirror. (Or maybe that got fixed?) I've seen a post-install update fail five times in a row before. :( Michael _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
