dnf offline-upgrade --poweroff reboot causes a post-upgrade reboot instead of the intended shutdown

[mattipulkkinen]

I originally asked about this on the Fedora forums, where Chris Williams explains the cause of the problem in one of his posts in that thread. The short version is that after the upgrade has finished, systemd kills dnf-system-upgrade.service with SIGTERM, which is interpreted as a failure because it is a oneshot type service. This failure then triggers a reboot instead of the expected shutdown.

I'm on Fedora 39 and dnf-plugins-core version 4.5.0.

Hi, thanks for the report and for the link to the discussion. It seems the same problem as reported in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2211844.
