(Solved) Offline upgrade from 43 to 44 stuck (it was in infinite loop because of msttcore-fonts-installer)

Ask Fedora
1

Hello,

I’m upgrading from 43 to 44 using dnf offline, but there is a problem that has caused it to get stuck forever.

The upgrade of mscorefont package is trying to download the new fonts from sourceforge.net, but internet is not available during offline upgrade, at least not if one uses networkmanager, and there is no timeout on the rpm script that would cause it to skip the problematic package.

I have been able to log in a root in TTY2 (ctrl-f2) and I’m trying to set up the wired connection manually to continue.

If this fail, is there a command to instruct dnf to give up on the current transaction and move on to the next package?

2

I could type “systemctl start NetworkManager” in the terminal, this booted up NM, immediately connected and seems to have fixed the issue

3

P.s. I’m not 100% sure the update was completely stuck or just very slow: I’ve noticed that “tail -f” does not seem to work correctly in the pre-boot shell, it is possible it was still going on.

Even in the best case, the script waits 5 times a very long timeout for each of the many different fonts it tries to download

4

p.p.s. It definitely was stuck, in 15 minutes it filled 4MB of log files with the same error message:

2026-05-04T09:06:42+0000 [876] INFO [scriptlet] ### Downloading EUupdate.EXE from https://downloads.sourceforge.net/mscorefonts2

What is “funny” is that one internet came up, it still failed to download the file, but in a different way (404 error) which allowed it to continue.

Anyway, if you’re here because you have the same problem:

  • type CTRl-ALT-F2 to switch to a pre-boot shell
  • login as root, if you did not set a root password, tough luck
  • type “systemctl start NetworkManager”
  • check with “ip a” that the network connection is up, if it is not (i.e. becuase it is a wifi connection set to only start after login) type “nmcli con” to get the list of connection and then “nmcli con up $connection_name“ to activate it.

When reporting an issue you should provide enough detail to allow others to reproduce the issue: Workstation, KDE, etc., how you installed mscorefonts in F43. One known issue is:

https://linuxcapable.com/install-microsoft-fonts-on-fedora-linux/ has:

DNF5 (Fedora 41+) rejects this community package because it lacks proper digest signatures. Install it with rpm directly, bypassing the signature checks: sudo rpm -ivh --nodigest --nofiledigest msttcore-fonts-installer-2.6-1.noarch.rpm.

6

In fact the package is msttcore-fonts-installer, sorry I could not get the correct name before since the RPM database was locked during installation.

Is recent, so should have the signature problem. How did you install the package (Fedora copr, rpmfusion, 3rd party site, …)?

8

This is the new “just installed” version, I’m not sure when the previous one was installed, it may have been a dependency of OnlyOffice or of Winboat. I cannot check in the log, because they have been completed flushed with the error message above, but I may have a look more in depth tonight (in about 6 hours) if you want.

9

That sounds more like a problem with your network configuration than something with the
msttcore-fonts-installer.

I gather you got past that with systemctl start NetworkManager in the pre-boot shell, so if the system is working properly now there is no urgency. Some users did encounter the signatures problem, but it seems to have been fixed with the April 23rd update. If you have time it could be helpful to mention the source of the updated msttcore-fonts-installer package as there are many old 3rd party rpm’s scattered around the internet.

10

It does in fact come from the OnlyOffice repository, it may be a good idea to use flatpak instead

11

Could you please post the last few lines logged by dnf in the journal of the offline-upgrade session while the network was still unavailable?

something like this:

and what are the first few lines logged by dnf after enabling network access?

12

Sure. Here it is. You have the last repetition of the error because of domain resolution (which looped forever) immediately followed by the first error of “file not found”, which only repeated 5 times before giving up. Then it went on to fail the other files and finally continued with the next script.

I can provide the entire output if you want, I have stored a copy of the log. However I do not have the beginning of the transaction because it was rotated out before I could save it.

14

Thanks.
That’s from /var/log/dnf5.log ?

I meant the journalctl output.
I’ve reproduced this in a vm. When the update session is stuck dnf does not show which package it’s installing. Only packages already installed are reported in the journal and on screen.

this is what I get in journalctl -b |grep -F ‘dnf5[’’

W/o any access to the system ( locked root account) , it’s not apparent what the problem might be. Only a review of the dnf5.log(s) can shed some lights here.

Update: the msttcore-fonts-installer package was rebuild on 23 Apr and then triggered the reinstall during system-upgrade.

Yes, that was the dnf.log output. Here is the journalctl output, starting a couple of packages before, than part of the log caused by my interactive session, and finally when it started advancing again. I can post the entire log of the boot, but it is 4MB, maybe it’s better if I upload it somehwere
