Description of problem: Since a few days ago (Jan 9th) offline updates have been consistently failing. Instead I've been applying updates with dnf. After attempting an offline update by restarting, on next login I get this message: == Failed To Update The offline update failed in an unexpected way. Detailed errors from the package manager follow: Failed to find curl;7.37.0-12.fc21;x86_64;updates == However, before restarting I had taken the precaution of noting the contents of /var/cache/PackageKit/metadata/updates/packages/: total 7580 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 276420 Jan 12 23:05 curl-7.37.0-12.fc21.x86_64.rpm -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 360360 Jan 12 23:05 dbus-1.8.14-1.fc21.x86_64.rpm -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 58520 Jan 12 23:05 dbus-devel-1.8.14-1.fc21.x86_64.rpm -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 174388 Jan 12 23:05 dbus-libs-1.8.14-1.fc21.i686.rpm -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 170936 Jan 12 23:05 dbus-libs-1.8.14-1.fc21.x86_64.rpm -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 51816 Jan 12 23:05 dbus-x11-1.8.14-1.fc21.x86_64.rpm -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 246864 Jan 12 23:05 libcurl-7.37.0-12.fc21.x86_64.rpm -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 121280 Jan 12 23:05 libsmbclient-4.1.14-2.fc21.x86_64.rpm -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 89468 Jan 12 23:05 libwbclient-4.1.14-2.fc21.x86_64.rpm -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 527068 Jan 12 23:05 samba-client-4.1.14-2.fc21.x86_64.rpm -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 710756 Jan 12 23:05 samba-common-4.1.14-2.fc21.x86_64.rpm -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 4467684 Jan 12 23:05 samba-libs-4.1.14-2.fc21.x86_64.rpm -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 367268 Jan 12 23:06 spice-glib-0.27-3.fc21.x86_64.rpm -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 58116 Jan 12 23:06 spice-gtk3-0.27-3.fc21.x86_64.rpm After update that directory no longer exists.

*** Bug 1182156 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
See bug 1182156 to see some logs. By trial and error, I've found out that the problem is in libhif. With libhif-0.1.6-2.fc21.x86_64 offline upgrades work for me without any problem. With libhif-0.1.7-1.fc21.x86_64, I always get "failed to find" error. Reproducer: 1. Install F21 Workstation from Live. 2. Do offline upgrade to latest packages, everything works. 3. yum downgrade devassistant (or something else) 4. try to do offline upgrade, it fails 5. yum downgrade libhif 6. reboot (just to be sure) 7. try to do offline upgrade, it succeeds 8. repeat steps 3-7 until you're sure it's not an accident
libhif-0.1.7-1.fc21.x86_64 got submitted stable on Jan 6. And I'm afraid *everyone* who updated since Jan 6 has now their offline upgrades broken. And you won't get a fixed version, since... their update system is broken. They'll need to use yum/dnf. I'd love be be wrong.
Yep, it's broken. I tried to update both with libhif 0.1.6.2 and 0.1.7.1 and it is as Kamil said. With 0.1.7 offline updates don't work. 0.1.6 is ok.
Adding another datapoint, I can also confirm this bug. So, we have a pretty serious problem here for anyone that has already hit this bug. I'd like to recommend that if the fix is not yet known, we should ask rel-eng to untag this build from the stable repository until it can be fixed (so that anyone not already impacted by it won't end up broken). As for those who are already stuck, they'll likely need to force a yum/dnf downgrade for the time being.
I've spent the last ~7 hours debugging this, and this is the core issue: https://github.com/Tojaj/librepo/issues/41 -- it's a huge pain it slipped through all my own testing and the updates QA process. Frustratingly, the libhif self tests passed, but because they are run on a machine with network access. :/ For the future, I'll enable them on koji and also run them locally with 'unshare -n' to remove any connectivity. I've worked around this upstream with https://github.com/hughsie/libhif/commit/359b609fc37e84063b125a88b3ed97b6f0ea4beb and I'm building new packages for F22 and F21 now. I guess the only thing I can do is apologise, but it seems like anyone who installed libhif-0.1.7-1 needs to update to libhif-0.1.7-3 using either dnf, yum or gnome-packagekit. Once you've installed the new libhif packages you'll either need to reboot or do: gdbus call --system --dest org.freedesktop.PackageKit --object-path /org/freedesktop/PackageKit --method org.freedesktop.PackageKit.SuggestDaemonQuit and then verify that the packagekitd process has quit.

Actually, it's slightly better than this as you can use gnome-software just by clicking on the http:// link to the rpm. It actually works surprisingly well.

I have libhif updated I reboot the system but seems to me still not working pkcon offline-status Command failed: no update results available
Sergio, that command should give you the outcome of the last performed offline upgrade process. If you want to actually perform it, see `man pkcon` to find out how to trigger it (I'm not sure at the moment), or fire up gnome-software, go to Updates, and hit the refresh button. It should download the updates and ask you to reboot to perform the offline upgrade. On the next boot, you can use `pkcon offline-status` to see the outcome. Please also note that there were multiple update breakages lately, so you might need to update everything related to PackageKit, libhif and librepo manually using yum first.
Hi , today after do: pkcon -c -1 refresh force The updates appears on my systray ! it works huf !
