(f37) This afternoon, I did my weekly "dnf upgrade". This typically involves between 100 and 200 packages. Today, it was over 700 packages, by far a record for me in the 10+ years I've had this Fedora workstation. More concerning, there was a huge number of remove failures during the clean-up stage. After rebooting, the display on one monitor acted like it was cycling rapidly between 4? monitors. A second reboot has everything behaving (so far!).
The log files generated by today's weekly patching are: ls -lrt dnf* ------ [... snip ...] -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 89921 May 11 14:34 dnf.log.1 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1048552 May 11 14:34 dnf.log.2 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 951565 May 11 14:36 dnf.librepo.log -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 779105 May 11 14:36 dnf.rpm.log -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 3580 May 11 14:36 dnf.log ------ I did some grepping: grep -i "remove failed" dnf.log.1 dnf.log.2 dnf.librepo.log dnf.rpm.log dnf.log > ~/remfailures.txt The resulting file has 3174 lines, each a hit from dnf.rpm.log. So it seems that the clean-up phase of today's patching failed to delete 3174 files. I don't know how to determine which package's clean-up resulted in which file remove failures. Here are two typical remove failed lines from the grep above: ------ dnf.rpm.log:2023-05-11T14:29:17-0600 INFO warning: file 6bbb75df83a748c56bbccd653c2c839ef20ae8: remove failed: No such file or directory dnf.rpm.log:warning: file c61b67d685556a2901acf90236f5f8a65406b1: remove failed: No such file or directory ------ Why is there such a big clean-up problem? Is this a real problem or something that I really can safely ignore? Why was this weekly package so huge - I'd say more than 4 times what's typical? Thank-you in advance for your help. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
