Description of problem: Running a "dnf update" since mid-November on Fedora 29 Workstation install has produced numerous errors and indicates it is using old/cached metadata to update packages. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Both 4.0.9-1 and 4.0.9-2 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. With this particular output in the actual results section, I have edited each repo file (/etc/yum.repos.d/X) to use the baseurl link rather than the metalink, in an attempt to fix things. However, the errors occur when the metalink is active (uncommented) and the baseurl is not active (commented). 2. Comment the metalnk= line in each repo file. 3. Uncomment the baseurl= line in the same repo file. 4. sudo dnf update Actual results: dnf does seem to update Fedora 29, however here is the output with many complaints: Loaded plugins: builddep, config-manager, copr, debug, debuginfo-install, download, generate_completion_cache, needs-restarting, playground, repoclosure, repodiff, repograph, repomanage, reposync DNF version: 4.0.9 cachedir: /var/cache/dnf Unknown configuration value: failovermethod=priority in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-cisco-openh264.repo; Configuration: OptionBinding with id "failovermethod" does not exist Unknown configuration value: failovermethod=priority in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-modular.repo; Configuration: OptionBinding with id "failovermethod" does not exist Unknown configuration value: failovermethod=priority in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-modular.repo; Configuration: OptionBinding with id "failovermethod" does not exist Unknown configuration value: failovermethod=priority in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-modular.repo; Configuration: OptionBinding with id "failovermethod" does not exist Unknown configuration value: failovermethod=priority in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-modular.repo; Configuration: OptionBinding with id "failovermethod" does not exist Unknown configuration value: failovermethod=priority in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-modular.repo; Configuration: OptionBinding with id "failovermethod" does not exist Unknown configuration value: failovermethod=priority in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-modular.repo; Configuration: OptionBinding with id "failovermethod" does not exist Unknown configuration value: failovermethod=priority in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-testing-modular.repo; Configuration: OptionBinding with id "failovermethod" does not exist Unknown configuration value: failovermethod=priority in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-testing-modular.repo; Configuration: OptionBinding with id "failovermethod" does not exist Unknown configuration value: failovermethod=priority in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-testing-modular.repo; Configuration: OptionBinding with id "failovermethod" does not exist Unknown configuration value: failovermethod=priority in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-testing.repo; Configuration: OptionBinding with id "failovermethod" does not exist Unknown configuration value: failovermethod=priority in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-testing.repo; Configuration: OptionBinding with id "failovermethod" does not exist Unknown configuration value: failovermethod=priority in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-testing.repo; Configuration: OptionBinding with id "failovermethod" does not exist Unknown configuration value: failovermethod=priority in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo; Configuration: OptionBinding with id "failovermethod" does not exist Unknown configuration value: failovermethod=priority in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo; Configuration: OptionBinding with id "failovermethod" does not exist Unknown configuration value: failovermethod=priority in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo; Configuration: OptionBinding with id "failovermethod" does not exist Unknown configuration value: failovermethod=priority in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo; Configuration: OptionBinding with id "failovermethod" does not exist Unknown configuration value: failovermethod=priority in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo; Configuration: OptionBinding with id "failovermethod" does not exist Unknown configuration value: failovermethod=priority in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo; Configuration: OptionBinding with id "failovermethod" does not exist Fedora 29 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64 194 B/s | 543 B 00:02 reviving: 'fedora-cisco-openh264' can be revived - repomd matches. not found other for: Fedora 29 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64 not found modules for: Fedora 29 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64 not found updateinfo for: Fedora 29 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64 fedora-cisco-openh264: using metadata from Wed 12 Sep 2018 07:23:26 AM PDT.

Completion plugin: Generating completion cache... --> Starting dependency resolution --> Finished dependency resolution Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. Complete! Expected results: dnf updates Fedora with no errors, at least with the default fedora repos. Additional info:
"failovermethod=priority" is not supported by dnf. One of the possible solution would be to remove "failovermethod=priority" from repo files. Let's ask fedora-repos maintainers.
This was already removed in rawhide and will appear in other releases when there's a need to update them. See https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fedora-repos/c/52f903d59917f54596a258cfe7672148b84da82f?branch=master and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1653831 Do note that dnf does not show any of those messages by default. You must be running with -v or have changed the debuglevel?

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.
