Hello @admin245734 and @azaj.ikbal,

So indeed I’ve managed to recreate the issue. This is coming from the fact that when you create a new CentOS Droplet and then try to update it with the dnf or yum update command you are updating the rpm package as well causing differences in the rpm version trying to unpackage rpm files thus coming with an error like :

I’ve reported this however for the time being what you can do is to update rpm alone and then do the dnf update on all packages;

  1. dnf update rpm

After that is completed:

  1. dnf update

    Hey @admin245734,

    I’ve found a similar bug in this thread :

    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1192524

    Can you set skip_if_unavailable=True and timeout=400 in etc/dnf/dnf.conf and try again?

    Additionally, can you paste the contents of your dnf conf?
