My apologies for the long lines being truncated by my terminal window.

Not sure what “cofractal-ewr.mm.fcix.net” is. Google searches point to a file hosting service but I am unfamiliar with it. I have been running Fedora since 37 and have not seen this error previously. Can anyone shed some light on what might be the issue here?

Usually if your update worked and you see a 404 then one of the Fedora repo mirrors is missing files. dnf automatically tried another mirror which is why the update usually works.

Thanks Barry. A little extra effort on my part would have shown that fcix.net is one of the mirrors the Fedora Project uses. Now I know.
