I guess that this only happens in Fedora 29 installations that have been upgraded from Fedora 28.
At the moment 'dnf updateinfo info' reports updates for the following packages: deja-dup-38.1-1.fc29 glibc-2.28-26.fc29 kernel-headers-4.19.10-300.fc29 kernel-tools-4.19.10-300.fc29 kernel-4.19.10-300.fc29 libappstream-glib-0.7.14-3.fc29 PackageKit-1.1.12-2.fc29 gnome-software-3.30.6-1.fc29 while 'dnf update' updates none of them.

Adding the --updates option to 'dnf updateinfo' may help.
Could this issue somehow be related to the availability of packages in both the updates and the updates-modular repos?

Now I have a closer look at my comment here above, I think it might also be related to having the debug packages installed or not.
Somehow dnf updateinfo detects that there are newer debuginfo packages, while the cannot be installed. See deja-dup-debuginfo as an example: [root@nyx ~]# dnf updateinfo list | grep deja-dup-debuginfo FEDORA-2019-9004d3cbb7 bugfix deja-dup-debuginfo-38.4-1.fc29.x86_64 [root@nyx ~]# dnf list installed | grep deja-dup-debuginfo deja-dup-debuginfo.x86_64 37.0-1.fc27 @System [root@nyx ~]# dnf install deja-dup-debuginfo-38.4-1.fc29.x86_64 Last metadata expiration check: 0:28:24 ago on do 11 apr 2019 11:51:21 CEST. No match for argument: deja-dup-debuginfo-38.4-1.fc29.x86_64 Error: Unable to find a match
Most of the by "dnf updateinfo" reported packages did update with "dnf info" after that I enabled the updates-debuginfo, updates-source, updates-modular-debuginfo, and updates-modular-source. Maybe the debuginfo and source repositories were disabled during an update? The only packages that still have some issues are now: kernel* and libgit2: [root@nyx ~]# dnf updateinfo list Last metadata expiration check: 0:02:34 ago on do 11 apr 2019 13:10:54 CEST.

The kernel part should be solved by patch https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/1485 Now `updateinfo --list` will print only advisories for the newest installed kernel and for running kernel. So you will still see updates for freshly installed kernel - until you reboot with it. Also remember, that `updateinfo` command prints also updates, which are not currently available (e.g. for -debuginfo packages when no -debuginfo repo enabled). See also https://dnf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/command_ref.html#updateinfo-command
This message is a reminder that Fedora 29 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 29 on 2019-11-26. 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 '29'. 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 29 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 29 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-11-26. Fedora 29 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.
