If I don't do an dnf update long enough and there are duplicate versions in the cache there will be old packages left over after the update which only go away when I say "dnf clean packages" (Another reason I thought it should only remove the ones it actually installed :-). ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

What happens if you've cached the libreoffice packages, but before you get around to updating them, there's another update?

If you use --downloadonly, you can see the message: The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful transaction. You successfully ran a transaction, so the cache is cleared.

is this a dnf bug?
I download updates to the cache on cron at night. I wanted to apply some updates, but not have to reboot because I got a new kernel or something, so I did: dnf update 'libre*' That updated all the libreoffice packages. Then I look at the cache, and it deleted *everything*, not just the libreoffice packages it installed. Should it really work that way? ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
