Currently the Gnome SW update mechanism seems to run faulty

Hi
thank You for the info, I am still learning linux.
The log is /var/log/yum.log

 [root at linux-2 log]#  pkcon get-updates
Aktualisierungen werden abgerufen[=========================]

Fertig                        [=========================]         
Derzeit sind keine Aktualisierungen verfügbar.
[root at linux-2 log]#  pkcon offline-status
Status:	Failed
ErrorCode:failed-initialization
ErrorDetails:cannot download Packages/f/firefox-37.0.2-3.fc22.x86_64.rpm to /var/cache/PackageKit/metadata/fedora/packages/: Curl error (6): Couldn't resolve host name for https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-22&arch=x86_64 [Could not resolve host: mirrors.fedoraproject.org]

disappeared after the update of today (2015-04-29). Before this update, when I
said to Gnome SW please update, the update procedure was started as usual, and
the system rebooted - I know there is a cross in the left upper corner....., but
the updates where not done, because as I see in the logs the modules -at least
firefox and Gwenview- had not to be updated. What's about Kernel, I don't know,
because my Linux knowledge is too low.

Which log file is that? /var/log/yum.log
is specific to Yum (and Yumex)
and is _not_ used by programs based on
PackageKit.

If you use Yumex *and* gnome-software, this can result in
temporary
confusion. They don't use shared data. They don't sync with
eachother.
If you update with Yum frequently, you don't give gnome-software
a
chance to catch up. In that case you need to click the top-left button
so it
refreshes the repo metadata it has cached.

You can ask the PackageKit console
client about what updates are
available:

  pkcon get-updates

You can also ask
it about the status of the last offline update:

  pkcon offline-status

"man
pkcon" for the manual page.

The current situation is not pretty, but IMO some
of the problems are
caused by users having false expectations with regard to how
these
various package tools work.
