Hi,
I have just done a sudo dnf upgrade on F34 which I think upgraded 1311 packages.
After the update finished I rebooted F34 and then ran discovery and it was still telling
me there was 628 MB of F34 Platform updates to put on, which I did put on. Why is dnf not
installing all updates that are available? Is there a configuration that needs to be done
to alleviate this that is not done in an "out of the box" install, or, is this
telling me that we shouldn't be doing updates with dnf we should be using Discovery
instead?
I've not looked at what goes on during the upgrade process. That is going from a
previous release of Fedora to a later version of
Fedora. I suspect that the upgrade process just compares what you have on your system
with what packages are
available in the fedora.repo (which doesn't change) and doesn't look at the
fedora-updates.repo since looking in both
places and keeping track of what package should be upgraded from which repo would be much
more work. Especially in
the case of where an update of some packages may change dependencies or pull in packages
not used previously.
So, it would be a much simpler process to upgrade from the released repo and then do
normal updates later.
Hey, at least it isn't like Windows. I have a Windows 10 VM that I rarely use. When
I do use it, and updates are
applied, it is a constant cycle of "Download updates, apply updates, reboot" and
rinse/repeat
