and the system rebooted directly into the usual f42 login, no indication of 
upgrade anywhere in the logs.

$ sudo dnf5 offline status
An offline transaction was initiated by the following command:
         dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=44 -- setopt=keepcache=1 
--allowerasing --best
Run `dnf5 offline reboot` to reboot and perform the offline transaction.

So it knows...

Repeating the system-upgrade command says it is already queued, but will now be 
replaced. Same failure to upgrade.

Should I see something in the grub menu? There is nothing new in /boot at all.

What should I looks at?

Nothing changes in the grub menu.  It just changes the boot target or enables a 
service.  I'm not sure of the details.

In the past I saw a target in the system log.
        Reached target system-update-pre.target
I do not see it now and do not see such a unit listed. However I do have this 
file:
        -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 551 Mar 13 11:00 
/usr/lib/systemd/system/system-update-pre.target

Note 1:

First time through there was an error
     Transaction failed: Rpm transaction failed.
       - file /usr/lib64/libkdnssd.so.1.0.0 from install of 
kdelibs3-3.5.10-135.fc44.x86_64 conflicts with file from package kdnssd- 
avahi-0.1.3-0.44.20080116svn.fc40.x86_64
so, following 'net comments that kdnssd-avahi is no more, I:
     $ sudo dnf remove kdnssd-avahi

Ended removing kdnssd-avahi.

I tested again after this.

The update lists some removals:
Removing dependent packages:
  javascriptcoregtk4.0        x86_64        2.47.2-3.fc42 fedora      28.8 MiB
  kdelibs-webkit              x86_64        6:4.14.38-47.fc42 fedora     191.9 
KiB
  python3-parameterized       noarch        0.9.0-11.fc42 fedora     197.6 KiB
  python3-remoto              noarch        1.2.1-11.fc41 fedora     119.8 KiB
  python3-toml                noarch        0.10.2-21.fc42 fedora     128.5 KiB
  scala                       noarch        2.13.12-7.fc40 fedora       9.5 MiB
  webkit2gtk4.0               x86_64        2.47.2-3.fc42 fedora      80.6 MiB

Did you do this removal and then run the update again?

This removal is listed on the dnf actions list, not my doing, Probably from the 
'--allowerasing --best'.

Note 2:
     This is a KVM image and it was upgraded this way many times without any 
problem before.

You have a couple of really old packages which are now interfering with the 
update.

Only two packages are old (fc40 and fc41), not 'really old' in my world.

I am not sure if a manual remove will be OK so I leave it to dnf to decide.
