Description Martin Whitaker 2019-11-20 11:25:53 CET

Suggested Advisory
==================
This update stops dnf-makecache from running during an on-line upgrade. This will prevent the upgrade failure seen by some users (mga#25072).

SRPMs
=====
mgaonline-3.24.2-1.mga6.src.rpm

RPMs
====
mgaonline-3.24.2-1.mga6.noarch.rpm

Test Procedure
==============
If dnf has never been used on the test system, first ensure the dnf package is installed, then, as root, run

  dnf makecache
  systemctl restart dnf-makecache.timer

As root, run

  systemctl status dnf-makecache.timer

This should show the timer is active. Then, as the logged-in user, run

  killall mgaapplet
  mgaapplet --testing

After a short delay, you should be informed that an upgrade is available. Start the upgrade. As soon as the upgrade begins, as root in another terminal, run

  systemctl status dnf-makecache.timer

which should report the timer is now inactive. Repeat after the upgrade completes (but before rebooting) to check it is still inactive. After reboot, the timer should be active again.

Comment 1 Dave Hodgins 2019-11-21 00:17:20 CET

Confirmed the dnf-makecache.timer is disabled during the duration of the upgrade
and restarted after reboot.

Advisory committed to svn. Validating the update.

Zero conflicts or other problems encountered during the upgrade.
