It's not just commands where access to the repo is needed. Even
commands like search hangs. I think the makecache service is locking
the database and hanging. Since it hangs, my interactive command waits
for the lock to be released indefinitely. I can't prove this though,
this is my hunch based on the symptoms I see.
I am not on a poor connection, either, but I am occasionally
experiencing
this problem as well.
Okay good, I'm not alone then.
In most cases the cause seems to be dnf's mirror selection to
prefer broken
repos and/or poorly accessible mirrors, but I have also seen cases, when dnf
hung without any feedback for hours.
Simple search or clean commands should not hang if this was the reason.
Thanks for the responses so far, any other thoughts?
Cheers,
