I looked at the dnf logs.  Something caught my attention.  I put the file on the \
google drive as "dnflog.txt".  It does not show properly in google's preview, but you \
should be able to download it and view it with vim.  There are "non-printing" \
characters; I don't know how to fix or remove those.  Here is the link:

"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SqsMZcQQm2HhCL6_7ipoeONmTJRuC1hP/view?usp=sharing".

This morning's run has the curl error.

Beyond that, I'm stumped.

I hope this helps someone to help me.
