But the erro messag always points to SQLite ... Should not be required. Would you show the output of ls -nZ /var/lib/dnf/* The folder /var/lib/dnf is owned by the package dnf-data, but no package owns the files in /var/lib/dnf/. They have to be created by the system after install. My system shows -rw-r--r--. 1 0 0 system_u:object_r:rpm_var_lib_t:s0 13979648 Jun 13 11:21 /var/lib/dnf/history.sqlite -rw-r--r--. 1 0 0 system_u:object_r:rpm_var_lib_t:s0 32768 Jun 13 11:21 /var/lib/dnf/history.sqlite-shm -rw-r--r--. 1 0 0 system_u:object_r:rpm_var_lib_t:s0 4144752 Jun 12 10:39 /var/lib/dnf/history.sqlite-wal Something strange is going on with this history. man dnf says that history will be saved 'assuming the history_record configuration option is set' but man dnf.conf shows no such option. Oversight, or is it always turned on now, and that option is obsolete? Try this. Edit /etc/dnf/dnf.conf and in the [main] section add the line history_record=True Then, as root, delete the files /var/lib/dnf/history.sqlite* yet one more time. Run dnf update again, and see if the files /var/lib/dnf/* are created. Post the output of the ls command given above again. ls -nZ /var/lib/dnf/* _______________________________________________ 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
