Description of problem:

Upgrading to F27 from F26 using 'dnf system upgrade' gives an error on rebooting with 'dnf system-upgrade reboot'

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

DNF version: 2.6.3

How reproducible:

Once

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start with F26
2. enable updates-testing repo
3. dnf system-upgrade download --enablerepo=updates-testing --releasever=27
4. dnf system-upgrade reboot

Actual results:

system upgrade to f27 fails - and then reboots back to F26

Expected results:

system upgrade to f27 should complete without error

Additional info:

librepo.LibrepoException: (8, "Cannot prepare internal mirrorlist: Curl error (6): Couldn't resolve host name for https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-testing-f27&arch=x86_64 [Could not resolve host: mirrors.fedoraproject.org]", 'An Curl handle error')


It appears that 'dnf' is doing a network check for the repo data during this stage - and perhaps the network was not up by that time - so it aborted.

Shouldn't dnf do a 'yum localupdate' equivalent operation at this stage - and not rely on the network?

Also this metadata sync operation [if there is anything new to download] invalidates any of the checks 'dnf system-upgrade download' did - prior to 'dnf system-upgrade reboot'


Subsequent 'dnf system-upgrade reboot' got the upgrade to F27 going without this error

> 3. dnf system-upgrade download --enablerepo=updates-testing --releasever=27

Sorry - should have said 'dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=27' 

the updates-testing repo was enabled manually due to #1490832

From dnf.log
