Why do I have to re-download kernel packages everytime?
Hey, I am using Fedora Linux 38 with the 6.4.13 kernel. I have had this problem for quite a while now. Everytime I run sudo dnf upgrade and there' an update to the kernel, dnf downloads the kernel and related packages (kernel-modules, kernel-modules-extra etc.) but cites a md5 mismatch and then re-downloads it. This time it works but this whole costs me quite a bit of data. What do you think is causing this?
I have cleared the dnf cache multiple times and yet this happens.
You're viewing a single thread.
Is that from the deltarpms? It's a pretty common problem with them. You can disable deltarpms if you don't mind installing the full package by default. Though if you're concerned about the cost of the data, deltarpms are probably exactly what you want 🫤
I would disable them, since even Fedora is considering dropping deltarpms last I heard.
