If there is nothing to do I would expect those two messages to not be displayed and a message to the effect that the local environment was up to date.1). Why is it producing the messages "Updating and loading repositories:"and "Repositories loaded." with nothing between them which means that it didn't do anything? This functionality is independent of whether the command is issued under sudo or not. This is what I see on a clean f41 Vagrant box: [root@localhost ~]# yum repolist repo id repo name fedora Fedora 41 - x86_64 fedora-cisco-openh264 Fedora 41 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64 updates Fedora 41 - x86_64 - Updates [root@localhost ~]# dnf check-upgrade Updating and loading repositories:Fedora 41 - x86_64 - Updates 100% | 6.9 MiB/s | 5.5 MiB | 00m01sFedora 41 - x86_64 100% | 21.0 MiB/s | 35.4 MiB | 00m02sFedora 41 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64 100% | 4.3 KiB/s | 6.0 KiB | 00m01sRepositories loaded. <snip bunch of packages that are liable for upgrade>I would suspect that "Updating and loading repositories:" is checking the upstream repo metadata (if you've ever managed your own repos, this is the data created/updated by createrepo based on the RPM contents in the repo directory.)This is the stuff you'll see like: https://fedora.mirrorservice.org/fedora/linux/development/41/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/ those archives contain a lot of the pre-calculated RPM package dependencies (the requires/provides.)Your local dnf will have its own cache of this metadata (unless this has changed significantly for dnf5) which is refreshed by default every 90 minutes. `dnf makecache` creates/updates this cache, `dnf clean` blats it causing subsequent runs to pull a new version of the cache.
