Description of problem: Looks like if a package is installed with dnf after the graphical upgrade download has been initiated, it'll cause the offline upgrade to faceplant. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): PackageKit-1.1.1-1.fc23.x86_64 gnome-software-3.20.1-1.fc24.x86_64 How reproducible: 1 for 1, unknown Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Gnome Software 3.20 from copr. 2. Use the new graphical upgrade to upgrade to Fedora 24, clicked Updates tab and then clicked Download. 3. Do some work including apparently 'dnf install nload' 4. 6 hours later, after downloading is done, click the Install button in Gnome Software Actual results: Reboot happens, I get a status in the upper left hand corner that seems to get no more than single digits and then an abrupt reboot. No error messages in GNOME shell, but in the journal I see: [ 6.894903] f23m.localdomain pk-offline-update[780]: status download [ 6.895168] f23m.localdomain pk-offline-update[780]: package downloading nload-0.7.4-7.fc24.x86_64 (fedora) [ 6.895422] f23m.localdomain pk-offline-update[780]: status finished [ 6.895664] f23m.localdomain pk-offline-update[780]: writing failed results [ 6.895905] f23m.localdomain pk-offline-update[780]: failed to upgrade system: cannot download Packages/n/nload-0.7.4-7.fc24.x86_64.rpm to /var/cache/PackageKit/24/metadata/fedora/packages/: Curl error (6): Couldn't resolve host name for https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-24&arch=x86_64 [Could not resolve host: mirrors.fedoraproject.org] So it did fail. Expected results: Not this. Possibly after the large download and before rebooting, pk needs to check and see if it really has everything in case the user has done an installation of something in the interim? Or somehow pk offline update needs to be able to do downloads? Seems like it wants to but that fails for some reason. Additional info: By going back to Gnome Software and clicking Download again, and with the status bar starting at the far left making me think I'd have to suffer 6 hours of downloading again, it looks like it found what it wanted in about 30 seconds. The subsequent reboot offline update works and installs F24 successfully.

Looks like pk-offline-update expects networking to be up in this environment which is clearly not true in this case, NetworkManager hasn't even started.
I did try to use dnf after Download finished and before I clicked Install and hit bug 1336459. However, I was not that sneaky to try it during Download. It's definitely a valid test case, though. Networking is not supposed to be working in the offline upgrade environment. The upgrade tool is responsible to prepare all needed packages in advance.

Yeah, it just checked existing cache and downloaded the missing packages. The progress bar being confusing is already reported as part of bug 1335414.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. 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 '23'. 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 23 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.
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 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.
