Problem with spins since upgrade to F26 (Failed to synchronize cache...)

[Boyd Kelly]

Hi,
I've been working on my own fluxbox-spin, and a couple of remixes.  But since upgrading to F26 I get the errors below even with a basic workstation spin.  I'm not sure where this is coming from as my DNF works just fine.  I've tried rawhide and non-rawhide as well as releasever=25 with the same issues.  Since there seems to be no bug reported, I assmume I'm overlooking probably some simple thing.  Any pointers appreciated.  Also would there be any reason to submit a fedora-fluxbox-spin?  I now have some spare cycles and would be looking to contribute in some way to Fedora.  (I'm not a full blown programmer, but sysadmin and have used every Fedora I think since day one!) 
Thanks, Boyd

Hi,

you might try livemedia-creator and check whether this one works:
