Hi, I've found the issue. I have separate sys-net for cabled eth and sys-net-wifi. Today I tried to update and it failed but I happened to see that sys-net was started (I was on wifi and had turned sys-net off). I then connected through cable and the update was successful. Is there a way to setup that Fedora (and Debian) updates happen through a specific network, like my sys-net-wifi?
