Can't you just use "--refresh"?
Nether one of those suggestions gets around the problem I seem to have:
garry@ifr$ sudo dnf makecache;sudo dnf upgrade
[snip mangled quote]
Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'updates'
...
The only way I found is to clean all. :-(
It sounds like it is using a stale repository. Have you any plugins that restrict repositories or is there some setting in the /etc/dnf/dnf.conf file?
Don't know about plugins, but
garry@ifr$ cat /etc/dnf/dnf.conf [main] gpgcheck=1 installonly_limit=6 clean_requirements_on_remove=True install_weak_deps=False metadata_expire=43200 garry@ifr$
What happens if you do dnf clean metadata instead of dnf clean all?
I don't know. The next time I can try is Monday.
But, of course, the issue is why this happens in the first place. I suspect no one here knows, so I will open a bug against dnf next week. Perhaps a developer will request data that will shed light on the problem.
What happens without the makecache?
That command was suggested instead of "dnf clean all". The reason I showed it was that it didn't help when I received "Error: Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'updates'" without it.
Are there any anomalies in the /etc/yum.repos.d directory?
Hmmm.
Things that are enabled that should be disabled, and vice versa.
Only modular is disabled. Normal otherwise.
