Actual Results: as shown in the description section. Expected Results: successful updates. Additional info:
some of the stuff you mention has alreadty been fixed. the "AttributeError: Message instance has no attribute 'getHeaderValues'" has been fixed (2.9.25 or so...). But it is a code path that indicates your session has timeout and you need to reauthenticate (in the bugfixed versions, this happens transparently). But it sounds like your not finishing downloading all the packages and the gui is just hopping to the next screen which claims everything is downloaded. Should be fixed the "error: failed to stat /mnt/b7k: Input/output error" concerns me somewhat...
RHL 8.0 is not supported anymore. But... seems to be fixed. This is a "keep and eye out for it" bug for current versions.
