Upgraded F31 system still believes it is living in the past, on F30!

[Ranjan Maitra]

Dear friends,

I upgraded my F30 system today using:

sudo dnf upgrade --releasever 31

Worked "fine" but for the following:

https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/lvm2-monitor-service-runs-endlessly-on-st...

Duly fixed with:

sudo systemctl mask lvm2-monitor.service


System came up after the second masking, but while it shows uname -a:

5.3.16-300.fc31.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 13 17:59:04 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

When I go for:

$ sudo dnf clean all
$ sudo dnf update

Nothing to do.
Complete!

Amusing, but how do I get this system to not believe that it is living in the past?

This is my fourth upgraded system, three today, but this is the one with the issues.

Happy to provide more information as needed.

Many thanks again for any and all help!

Best wishes,
Ranjan

I suppose you could copy the updated repo files from one of the
other systems, but who knows what less obvious stuff would still
be incorrect.

There isn't a difference between an F30 and F31 repo files.  I'm running F31 on
"meimei" and have an F30 VM.

[egreshko@meimei ~]$ sftp -b - f30k
get /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo
sftp> get /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo
quit
sftp> quit
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ diff fedora.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo

This may shed some light?

Grab the repos and gpg-keys packages from here,
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1399456
and update them using 
dnf -C update [package names]

This should remove the Fedora 30 repos, but look in /etc/yum.repos.d/
to be sure.

You should check that you have the release files as well.  If not get
from here, the plain release and the common,
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1403319
and update them using
dnf -C update [package names]

Thanks for pointing this out. Actually, I tried installing the RPMs but got the message
that all of them were installed So, I reinstalled

sudo dnf reinstall
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/fedora-repos/31/1/noarch/fed...

and this appears to have cleaned out the F30 elves...

sudo updated even found an update for R and its friends!

Thanks again for all your help. Thanks also to Tom!

Best wishes,
Ranjan

You should/could have done a full investigation, starting with a look
at the .repo files and which package they come from. It's too late now,
but it would have turned up something about your "fedora-repos" package
and possibly duplicates.

$ rpm -qf /etc/yum.repos.d/*
fedora-repos-31-1.noarch
fedora-repos-31-1.noarch
fedora-repos-31-1.noarch
fedora-repos-31-1.noarch
fedora-repos-31-1.noarch
fedora-repos-31-1.noarch
fedora-repos-31-1.noarch
[...]

Thanks for this! I have now done this and verified that it works.
