Hello everybody,

1. I got many systems with failing dnf-makecache.service because some 
mirror/repo is tried once and fails.

Is there an option to make dnf more reliable, to try the mirror url a 
few times and check its availability?

man yum.conf does not

# cat /etc/yum.conf
[main]
gpgcheck=1
installonly_limit=3
clean_requirements_on_remove=True
best=True
skip_if_unavailable=False

ExecStart=/usr/bin/dnf makecache --timer

2. I saw in the mailing list the messages about samba sssd dependency 
issues. I got lots of servers failing my dnf-automatic because of this 
when can I expect a resolution for this?

Kind regards,

Jelle
