Description H.-P. Sorge 2017-11-18 00:33:19 UTC 
Description of problem:

1. <dnf system-upgrade reboot> fails to upgrade.
2. entry in /var/log/messages: Failed to synchronize cache for repo »updates« 
3. from /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo
    mirrors.fedoraproject.org did not get resolved. 
    t-online returned: 
    Die von Ihnen eingegebene Internetadresse ... konnte nicht gefunden werden.

4. next day repeat:
   dnf --refresh upgrade
   dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=27
   dnf system-upgrade reboot
   mirrors.fedoraproject.org did get resolved!
   Same fail result.

5. <dnf clean all> has no effect.
   Downloaded rpm will be kept and not downloaded again.

6. next day some more repeats:
   dnf --refresh upgrade
   dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=27
   dnf system-upgrade reboot
   (nb mirrors.fedoraproject.org did get resolved!)
   Same fail result.

7. Observation: /var/lib/dnf/system-upgrade contains several subdirectories 
   like updates-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

8. rm -rf /var/lib/dnf/system-upgrade/*
   dnf --refresh upgrade
   dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=27 # download all rpm again
   dnf system-upgrade reboot
   SUCCESS 

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


How reproducible:  not attempted 


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  ./.
2.  ./. 
3.  ./.

Actual results:
./.

Expected results:
<dnf clean all> should clean locally stored rpm   

Additional info:
It looks like the multiple entries like 
/var/lib/dnf/system-upgrade/updates-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
do not get handled correctly .. (after a failing name resolution??)

I think this problem is a duplicate of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1514754 , could you take a look at my comment and see if this fix the issue for you ? (the part about check_config_file_age = false)
Comment 2 Christophe Fergeau 2017-11-27 09:00:34 UTC 
Fwiw, had the same issue (started the upgrade process last week, download failed a few times because of local issues, finally was able to try and move forward today). On system-upgrade reboot, I was getting this error about the Updates repository not being accessible. Removing the system-upgrade cache and trying again allowed the upgrade to complete.
