Description Jason Montleon 2018-10-17 13:46:25 UTC

Description of problem:
In Fedora 29, every time I get an update for dnf-automatic I find that the dnf-automatic-installer timer I have enabled is stopped after a reboot.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Previous version: dnf-automatic-3.6.1-2.fc29.noarch
Current version: dnf-automatic-4.0.4-1.fc29.noarch

This has happened with older version upgrades as well.

How reproducible:
Seems always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install fedora and dnf-automatic
2. systemctl enable dnf-automatic-install.timer && systemctl start dnf-automatic-install.timer
3. systemctl -t timer and observe the timer running
4. Update dnf-automatic and reboot
5. systemctl -t timer and observe the timer is not running

Actual results:
The dnf-automatic timer appears to be getting disabled by updates.

Expected results:
The dnf-automatic timer should not be getting disabled by updates.

Additional info:
I am not sure if it is related, but I have had NetworkManager disabled after updates, I am guessing of the NetworkManager package, as well.

Looking at another system prior to update, I'm not sure my initial report is 100% accurate. I see the service is supposedly still enabled but dead:

systemctl status dnf-automatic-install.timer
● dnf-automatic-install.timer - dnf-automatic-install timer
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/dnf-automatic-install.timer; enabled;
 vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)
  Trigger: n/a

Regardless, I keep finding that the timer is not running after I enable and start it. If there are any suggestions for figuring out what is actually causing it to die I am happy to collect more information.
