I am unable to upgrade my system.

I tried

sudo dnf clean all
sudo dnf upgrade --refresh -v

Thanks in advance

Have you look into this

Make dnf distro sync

I don’t see the updates repo there. Can you please check your repolist:

LANG=C sudo dnf repolist --refresh -y

(`LANG=C should make your output appear in English for the benefit of forum readers)

Updates do not go to the fedora repo, they go to the updates repo. The fedora repo remains pretty static once a Fedora release has been made.

Thanks for your answer

Here is the output, and thanks for the hint with the language setting

So your fedora-updates repository is not enabled. Please enable it, and that should get your your updates.

sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled updates

If you are using the modular repos, you should also enable their updates:

sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled updates-modular

It isn’t suggested to disable the updates repos, because that’s how you get all your bugfixes.

You are completely right.
After enabling the update-rpositorys everything works fine.

Many thanks, i have no idea why they were disabled.

TIL: There are extra repos for updates.

Thanks a lot
