What matters is whether dnf is seeing the same state the two times it runs. In this case it clearly isn't. That can be due to delayed syncing or simply to updates appearing between one run and the next. > In addition to that, https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org seems to have > been down and inaccessible for several hours, last weekend, which > caused additional issues with dnf (and yum). Same result. If dnf is run twice you can't guarantee it will give the same result. That's an inherent feature of loosely distributed systems (where there isn't a distributed consensus protocol). Obviously the wider apart the two runs, the more differences will tend to appear, but the presence of differences does not in itself indicate a problem. poc -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
