I believe this is related to mirror propagation issues raised in [https://forums.rockylinux.org/t/rocky-9-mirrors-out-of-sync-22-kernel-not-consistently-present/189211](https://forums.rockylinux.org/t/rocky-9-mirrors-out-of-sync-22-kernel-not-consistently-present/189211).

You can see the propagation status right now by looking at [Propagation - Mirror Manager](https://mirrors.rockylinux.org/mirrormanager/propagation)

As you can see, 50% of the mirrors do not have the most up-to-date files which I think is the cause of these update/dependency errors.

Unfortunately you will have to try again and hopefully you’ll get a mirror that has the packages. A few of the mirrors that I see in your output are unfortunately notorious for not being completely in sync with us when they should. This is something we’re looking into.

The propagation is based on repomd.xml and not individual files/packages. A mirror may have repomd.xml, but may be missing the other files either due to a sync being interrupted or another reason entirely. We have a few mirrors who are notorious for syncing repomd.xml but missing several packages, thus resulting in 404’s.

yes.  
I changed it to this, and it’s sometimes good, sometimes not:

```auto
- name: install system package
  run: |
      dnf clean all
      dnf makecache
      dnf distro-sync -y
      dnf update -y
      dnf install gcc g++ make git jq unzip wget -y

```
