Sudo dnf update not working

Ask Fedora

From the “Softwares app” when I check for updates it shows libre office, maps and system update. (I turned off automatic update to troubleshoot this situation)

When I do
sudo dnf update

It shows :-
Updating and loading repositories
Repositories loaded
Nothing to do.

I did
Sudo dnf check-update

Same output

For fixing :-
I did
Sudo dnf update —refresh

Didn’t fix

Added to /etc/dnf/dnf.conf :-
fastestmirror=true
color=auto
refresh=true (new one I added to fix)

Did not fix it

Now I do not understand what to do
I’m on fedora 44 7.1.10-200.fc44.x86_64

P.S. relatively new Linux user, not exactly beginner but still don’t go too technical

This problem has been happening since 28th August, I turned off automatic updates in software app yesterday to troubleshoot

I tried cleanall and makecache too

additional info

Software app shows this, it bascically shows system updates,libre office (pre-installed), maps (pre-installed), typing thing which is a flatpak and not a concern

As far as I can tell as of now, running the
sudo dnf update
after 12 hours worked.
I think casue i added “fastestmirror=true” the cli is connecting to some vietnamese server which has late updates. And Softwares app uses different server which got the updates earlier.
Thats my theory as of now

In future you might want to try

sudo dnf --refresh update

This will ensure that fresh metadata is fetched every time so you see updates as soon as possible.

The Software apps use PackageKit that has it’s own caches of package meta data that are not shared with dnf. It is common that they are not in sync.

As stated you can force dnf to update its meta data using --refresh option.

Also, if any of your applications where installed as Flatpaks, then do a “flatpak update” to update them.
