Linux Update Problem

6 Comments

When I ‘dnf -y update’ it downloads all the packages, but at the end crashes with this error message:

Any idea how to tell it to ignore this and just do the other updates? I don’t see any obvious options on “dnf update.”

Thanks for the advice in comments. Unfortunately, I can’t deal with it until I get back from a trip on Friday.

  1. dnf’s “–nogpgcheck” flag should get it to ignore the error, but that’s not necessarily the best idea, security-wise. I’d try running a “dnf clean all”, then manually remove and re-add the google-chrome repo that appears to be giving you the problem.
