Hi,
There is something clearly broken with updates (dnf?) but I can't tell what:
1. In KDE I get a notification that there are 6 packages to update. So, as root, I run:
[root@localhost ~]# dnf repolist Last metadata expiration check performed 2:22:09 ago on Mon Nov 16 19:27:21 2015. repo id repo name status *fedora Fedora 23 - x86_64 46,074 rpmfusion-free RPM Fusion for Fedora 23 - Free 692 rpmfusion-free-updates-testing RPM Fusion for Fedora 23 - Free - Test Updates 182 rpmfusion-nonfree RPM Fusion for Fedora 23 - Nonfree 206 rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing RPM Fusion for Fedora 23 - Nonfree - Test Updates 26 *updates Fedora 23 - x86_64 - Updates 4,139
[root@localhost ~]# dnf update Last metadata expiration check performed 2:14:00 ago on Mon Nov 16 19:27:21 2015. Dependencies resolved. ============================================================================================================================================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================================================================================================================================== Skipping packages with broken dependencies: akmods noarch 0.5.4-1.fc23 rpmfusion-free-updates-testing 25 k

Nothing to do. Complete!
Hmmm... no packages to update. But notification lists 6 packages, including ffmpeg and VirtualBox. So I run:
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qi VirtualBox Name : VirtualBox Version : 5.0.8 Release : 1.fc23 ...
2. Let's then click install in "Software Updates" notification pop-up. Guess what! Packages are downloading and installing.
Let's check:
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qi VirtualBox Name : VirtualBox Version : 5.0.10 Release : 1.fc23 ...
What??? Why hasn't dnf picked on this and updated VirtualBox?
Bonus question: what makes it possible for regular user to install packages via some widget in KDE? How to disable this?
Regards, Dariusz
Dnf / Yum and PackageKit (Apper / Gnome Software / etc) don't use the same caches. One can tell you new updates are available, while the other doesn't, because the first one just updated its information but the other hasn't yet. In this case, PackageKit updated itself and saw updates, but dnf hadn't yet. The reverse can happen too.
There's ongoing work to unify the caches, but its still WIP.
Don't know about your other question. Probably a PolKit policy.

I see, something similar was happening to me with DNF, libreoffice and the debug packages for Libre Office.
I had to uninstall the debug packages for LO, update Libre Office and then install again the debug packages for Libre Office.
Now i understand this, it seems that we need to wait for it to get solved : /
