It is active, but mostly doing nothing, due to a systemd setting. Had you not killed it, you would have seen something like this.... [egreshko@acer ~]$ systemctl status dnf-makecache.timer ● dnf-makecache.timer - dnf makecache timer Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/dnf-makecache.timer; enabled; vendor pre Active: active (waiting) since Sun 2017-07-23 19:37:39 CST; 1 day 18h ago Jul 23 19:37:39 acer.greshko.com systemd[1]: Started dnf makecache timer. Basically, about once/hour dnf will check and will update its cache if needed. See the man page for dnf and search for makecache for the details. > 2) WHY DNF does not ever stop and must be killed to update the system? You just happened to catch it in the middle of trying to update the cache. Had you simply waited a bit more your first dnf would have proceeded. > > That is seen on many F26 boxes (new installs or upgrades). > If you find yourself catching the update time too often for your liking you can "systemctl disable dnf-makecache.timer". -- Fedora Users List - The place to go to speculate endlessly
