I'm using Rocky 9. Yesterday, dnf was working perfectly fine. Today, it's failing with this:
tal@nuc ~> sudo dnf upgrade

Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'baseos': Yum repo downloading error: Downloading error(s): repodata/940ab520-228b-43b6-adc2-ece0886ad597-PRIMARY.xml.gz - Cannot download, all mirrors were already tried without success; repodata/9ae65830-497c-4c16-abe8-0d6ecd017b46-FILELISTS.xml.gz - Cannot download, all mirrors were already tried without success; repodata/9ae65830-497c-4c16-abe8-0d6ecd017b46-GROUPS.xml.gz - Cannot download, all mirrors were already tried without success
You'll notice that the filenames it's trying to download have the prefix of 940ab520-228b-43b6-adc2-ece0886ad597-*.xml.gz. If I go to those URLs in my browser, none of them have those files, but all of them seem to have 1ab0e62e-9df7-4fc0-ac2c-b1fc2e354505-*.xml.gz.
Where is dnf getting that filename prefix? Why is it ending up with the wrong one?
I tried clearing the cache with these commands, but it didn't help:
sudo dnf clean all
sudo rm -r /var/cache/dnf
sudo dnf upgrade
Update: It seems to have started working on its own a few minutes later. Was this likely an error on the servers? Is there something I can do, or look at next time?
