Any @fedora folks in the house?

I've just upgraded successfully from Fedora 40 (Mate) to 41. Now I'm trying to download the files to upgrade from 41 to 42, but I'm getting a curl error, because it's trying to pull a file from;

https://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/pub/fedora/linux/updates/42/Everything/x86_64/Packages/k/kernel-modu

Is that a bug or a process error on my part? Can I carry on with the upgrade, or am I risking a borked system?

@fedora I tried again tonight with upgrading Fedora 41 to 42. Went off without a hitch. I guess either our place was having net connection problems last night, or the mirror I was trying to pull from was, or I just wasn't holding my mouth right : P

I am having one little post-upgrade issue with @fedora 42.

Every time I open dnfdragora it asks me to import a GPG key, which appears to be associated with the @librewolf repo. But the text here doesn't seem to match the string I'd expect from a GPG key, it's not long enough for one thing.

The LibreWolf repo was all working fine in #Fedora 40 and 41, so not sure what's going on here. But again, I'm fairly new to Fedora, so could well be a rookie mistake on my end : )

A screenshot of dnfdragoa with a popup dialogue saying:

"Do you want to import this GPG key?

Key: 0x2B12EF16:
Userid: "dbus.Array([dbus.String("LibreWolf Maintainers

I’d try another mirror
And then I’d try browsing from the parent directory.

Is that URL cut off?

modu?

BTW Yes, I know, it took me far too long to replace v40. I'm new to Fedora and I didn't realise one version could be upgraded to another without fresh reinstalls, which are a real PITA now thanks to UEFI. Especially with preloved laptops that have firmware-level passwords set that the previous owner doesn't know, because the person they bought them off forgot tell them (hmmm).

Anyway, making progress but ... help?

@strypey once you upgraded to 41, try and run normal update process first before attempting the 42-upgrade. it might just solve your problems (fingers crossed)
