Welcome to Fedora

@yashh

sudo dnf upgrade; sudo dnf update

On Fedora, this is the same command. I believe on Ubuntu and derivatives it is used to update the system, but on Fedotra it is not. You essentially ran the same command twice.

[vekruse (Villy Kruse)]

@hamrheadcorvette

I believe on Ubuntu and derivatives it is used to update the system

Not quite. apt update is equivalent to dnf check-upgrade --refresh. It downloads the latest list of available packages.

[vgaetera (Vladislav Grigoryev)]

Try this way:

sudo dnf clean all
sudo dnf upgrade --refresh

If the issue persists, it’s probably a false positive caused by:

• Corporate network firewall or some sort of IDS/IPS.
• Government/ISP censorship or poorly configured traffic shaping.
• GeoIP blocking due to matching the IP range of some sanctioned country.

This kind of problem typically resolves itself after some time.
Otherwise you need to use VPN or Tor to bypass it.

Openh264 update issue

I think that typically means you’re being blocked from accessing the file and you’re getting an error message instead (hence the small size). What do you see if you try to download it from here?: Index of /openh264/40/x86_64/os/Packages/o

Inconsistent server data, reported file Content-Length: 377

Notice that you have the same error message, so it is very likely you are blocked.

[scm999 (Stuart)]

I’m having problems updating on F39. The error message is

Cannot download Packages/s/systemd-rpm-macros-254.13-1.fc39.noarch.rpm: All mirrors were tried; Last error: Status code: 404 for https://ask4.mm.fcix.net/fedora/linux/updates/39/Everything/x86_64/Packages/s/systemd-rpm-macros-254.13-1.fc39.noarch.rpm (IP: 78.109.176.29)

I could try installing F40 but would prefer to get F39 fully updated first.
