Description of problem: When trying to upgrade from Fedora 23 from Fedora 22, if dnf encounters an error, trying to run *any* dnf command to fix the issue will discard the cache. My upgrade is downloading for the third time, and it is EXTREMELY frustrating. Re-downloading is not only a waste of bandwidth, but a complete utter waste of time. I've got 3 machines to upgrade, it's gonna be a huge pain... This is a regression over previous system upgrade using fedup. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 22 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=23 2. dnf encounter a conflict 3. use dnf to resolve the conflict Actual results: Downloaded cache is discarded. Expected results: Downloaded cache is kept. Additional info:
The description should read: "from Fedora 22 to Fedora 23". Sorry for the typo.
FWIW /etc/dnf/dnf.conf has a 'keepcache' options, but changing the configuration file seems overkill for what should be a temporary behavior. How about introducing a --keepcache option to dnf ?
