dnf system-upgrade upgrade is what actually does the update behind the
scenes. The order is
1. dnf system-upgrade download - which downloads and tests the upgrade
2. dnf system-upgrade reboot - which reboots the system into what is
essentially an "upgrade" mode.
3 dnf system-upgrade upgrade - which is run automatically in this "upgrade"
mode before too much is started. The system should reboot normally after
the upgrade succeeds.
You can't run dnf system-upgrade upgrade directly.
I see, thank you. Perhaps the help file should be update to take out this option (which,
as you say, can not be put by the user anyway).
