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.
