I have updates available in GNOME Software: [Screenshot from 2024-05-03 13-23-44] Yet when I run sudo dnf update I get: Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. Complete! Why is that and how do I fix that?

Gnome Software and DNF don’t share the same metadata, so just refresh Gnome Software and run sudo dnf update --refresh see also: Why does the software app still show pending updates when dnf does not?

I thought that was the issue too. Except when I run flatpak update everything is up-to-date. And the packages are rpm packages: [Updates]

ah, sorry, I modified my post above after realizing your pending updates aren’t flatpaks. Now, looks like that meta data are not in sync. Just refresh them for both Software and dnf.

I ran sudo dnf update --refresh and get: Fedora 40 - x86_64 34 kB/s | 53 kB 00:01 Fedora 40 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64 481 B/s | 989 B 00:02 Fedora 40 - x86_64 - Updates 22 kB/s | 47 kB 00:02 …

[image] carbon rock: still have updates in Software refresh Gnome Software then

Updates are still in Gnome Software after a refresh. The issue isn’t GNOME Software though

I think I figured it out. GNOME Software probably automatically installed that updates. I’m assuming this because The update button says Restart & Update instead of Install. So running sudo dnf update won’t pickup new updates. I could be wrong and still experience this issue when I get more update…

Gnome Software use different updater that dnf .It is call packagekitd that include dnf and flatpak updates.Have totally different database to collect updates and because you have notification that have updates.Just follow instruction of “software” update and reboot to provide update process

Just follow instruction of “software” update and reboot to provide update process Updated now (Using Software), however would I still have this issue with the dnf command in future?
