Dnf update failure

I’m having a problem updating my system. I get the error below.
I tried cleaning the cache, rebuilding the rpm database and fsck on the filesystem but to no effect. I can use curl to get the file noted.
Does anyone know what else to try?

# dnf update

Disk full?

No … plenty of room. Just seems to be related to ‘updates-modular’. The other repos update fine.

If not needed that repo can be disabled (either temporarily with --diablerepo=updates-modular or permanently using dnf config-manager --disable updates-modular )
That should take care of the error that is blocking the update.

Usually that type error is due to a temporary internet error blocking access to a site or a mirror that is temporarily offline/out of sync.

Today it worked … I tried it a dozen times yesterday and dnf selected multiple mirror sites, all of which failed. Very odd.
