can you confirm your internet connection is generally working fine?

run sudo dnf clean all followed by another sudo dnf update and report back.

404 errors on dnf update are quite common, and is not always a problem. The dnf program will just try the next mirror. If all the mirrors fail, dnf will tell you by displaying something like “All mirrors tried” or something similar.

It seems that these errors are happening more often at some time of day, say about 06:00 UTC time.

It is obvious that this is a problem with the mirror located near you. Only Fedora can solve this problem

the internet works fine, that’s the first thing I checked

Had a similar issue and resolved it my editing the repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d

grep openh264 /etc/yum.repos.d/*
# this returned /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-cisco-openh264.repo: ....
# noticed an extra ../os/ at end of line, so I removed it

looks like the file got updated April 2024

build@myserver:~$ ls -l /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-cisco-openh264.repo*
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  905 Aug 27 10:10 /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-cisco-openh264.repo
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1102 Apr  6  2024 /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-cisco-openh264.repo.rpmnew

Hope this helps others with this issue

Is this what reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/1omeya7/comment/nniiizn describes? In retrospect:

@vgaetera, perhaps true, although GBR appears to be blocked, too! However, if their repository really is so non-standard, I’d appreciate if you could report it to them so that I can narrow-down the fault.
