The small problem. I keep my own repository of certain packages not
available
through other means on my main desktop accessed though autofs//nfs.
The software center was able to access the metadata during the download
phase but
system-upgrade apparently didn't download the packages assuming they
were local. I
remember filing a bug for this with fedup...
The bigger issue is everything says Fedora 26 (/etc/fedora-release) and
Gnome
system information, but when I run dnf it's still looking at the Fedora
25 repos.
Where does dnf look for $releasever?
Looking at the man page for dnf.conf
$releasever Refers to the release version of operating system which DNF
derives from information available in RPMDB.
Is it possible you have multiple entries for fedora-release?
That was it! I guess system-upgrade uses a pretty big hammer and doesn't worry about multiple packages being installed.
Thanks, Richard
