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"
No problems, it's all good.
regards,
Steve
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.
