Description of problem: dnf-makecache.timer and dnf-automatic.timer are starting dnf in a way that only makes sense if network access is available. Both state WantedBy=basic.target in their .timer files. Shoudn't this be WantedBy=network.target or even WantedBy=network-online.target ? Without network access both timers will fail to do their job anyway. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dnf-1.0.1-2.fc22.noarch
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
There is a pull-request that should implement it (https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/815).
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 27 development cycle. Changing version to '27'.
The issue is solved by dnf-3.0.1-1 that was released into rawhide.
The way this was fixed is incorrect and puts systemd in an impossible situation (dnf-makecache.timer asks systemd for two different, mutually exclusive things). This seems to result in NetworkManager.service being thrown out from the startup process, sometimes, and thus the system's network connection not being brought up on boot. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1600823 . I am sending a pull request which actually implements what Christian suggested in the first place, rather than the incorrect change which was actually made.
