While we are on the topic of updates with dnf, I have noticed that

produce the 404
error if the required package can't be found in any mirror?
It gets the 404 error since it uses curl to download.
I see no way to avoid what you've seen. It happens only occasionally
so I never thought about it.
I thought that might be the case. Because I was updating a large number
of packages I was seeing this message around a dozen times on various
packages. I am assuming that if dnf gets to the situation where it can't
find the package in any mirror, that it will suspend that update and any
associated updates but continue on with the rest of the updates that are
available and check again with the next update to see if it can then
find the "missing" package?
If dnf can't find a package on any mirror, it will immediately abort the
entire transaction. Otherwise, it would have go through the whole
dependency resolution process again.
