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.
I have always used dnf upgrade for normal updates. From what I've found dnf
update and dnf upgrade do the same thing and apply updates/installs from all
active repositories, or is there a difference between the two?
No, they do the same thing. I misunderstood your original post. Mostly because
that upgrade/update are used
interchangeably.
I thought you were speaking of "dnf system-upgrade"
I only looked at discover because I was looking at trying to use a package that
wasn't installed, and I was told to use Discover to install it (I don't
remember which package is was and I couldn't find how to install it from
Discover, so I finished up using flatpak).
OK. Well in that case nothing can be speculated.
