trying dnf, it does not show updates, but yum does

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

dnf update

Actual results:

dnf shows nothing to do, but yum update shows 100 MB to update

Expected results:

dnf should work

Comment 2 spital 2014-04-25 05:46:10 UTC

reopened, because I do not think 
"DNF doesn't say you need root rights to run dnf update" 
has anything to do with 
"dnf does not show updates, but yum does".

I ran it as root of course.

Sorry, wrong bug. This is rather a dupe of bug 1046355.

Comment 4 spital 2014-04-26 16:35:12 UTC

reopened because I said "I ran it as root of course"

"dnf does not show updates, but yum does" has nothing to do with

"incosistentupdates list - dnf update - compared to - sudo dnf update"

it must be amazing stuff they give people in Red Hat ;)

Sorry, looks like we don't have an original bug for this yet. Anyway, what you are seeing is the expected behavior, please see the document Tim links in comment 5.
