+1 for Mark also..

I just looked in /var/log and notice that there is a dnf.log , yet I
only use yum . tailing dnf.log shows this:
Mar 13 10:11:15 DEBUG repo: using cache for: rpmfusion-free
Mar 13 10:11:15 DEBUG not found deltainfo for: RPM Fusion for Fedora 20
- Free
Mar 13 10:11:15 DEBUG repo: using cache for: updates

Mar 13 10:11:15 DEBUG repo: using cache for: rpmfusion-nonfree
Mar 13 10:11:15 DEBUG not found deltainfo for: RPM Fusion for Fedora 20
- Nonfree
Mar 13 10:11:15 DEBUG hawkey sack setup time: 0.846
Mar 13 10:11:15 INFO Metadata cache created.


I don't remember installing or using DNF, and there is also a yum.log ,
so...
