I am well aware of this, both the fact that I'm gonna forget about it and that $releasever is part of the yum workflow. Actually, since I hate "fedup", it's the way I update my other computers to a newer fedora version: dnf upgrade --releasever=29.

That's true; but as the time of writing my original response, I could not figure out how $releasever was being catenated with both "25" and "4", so I imagined something "fixed" was automatically appended and decided not to brute-force the --releasever param. I use Qubes as my main workstation, so I don't have much time to extensively try and fix things... Still, I love it so much I thought I'd jump into the thread and post my workaround. > I havent encountered this bug myself,so cant account for it.

A very plain installation of R4.0, some couple of months after the official release (I had to upgrade the CPU to install R4.0 from R3.2, so I had to wait for it to arrive from an ebay seller in the UK). Looking at the bug linked by Andrew (github issue 4477), seems like Marek already found the cause. I'll monitor the issue and, as soon as this is resolved (which may involve a temporal link from yum.qubes-os.org/r25-4/ to yum.qubes-os.org/r4.0?), will revert the repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d to the original ones.
