qubes-dom0-update package reinstall?

[Dave C]

In R4, when fetching updates for Dom0 with "sudo qubes-dom0-update
--clean --verbose" I get this error message repeated 6 times:

> "Unknown configuration value: failovermethod=priority in
> /var/lib/qubes/dom0-updates/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo; Configuration:
> OptionBinding with id "failovermethod" does not exist"

I then get the following:

> "Dependencies resolved.

It seems there are two python packages available, but for some reason
they are downloaded but not installed or re-installed.

Questions:
1. Is the error message regarding "failovermethod" relevant / something
to worry about?
2. Is anyone else experiencing the issue with these two python packages
(python3-blivet and python3-kickstart)?

Thanks

P.S: Qubes team - fantastic work with the OS, thanks for your awesome

I don't know about the failover message. But using '--action=reinstall'
is probably necessary here. Or if the version numbers for the downloads
are newer than what is already installed then you may need to use
'--action=upgrade'.

Thanks Chris. Using "--action=reinstall" manually for each package
worked, and it reinstalled both packages of the same version numbers.
Any ideas what could cause DNF to suggest reinstalling the same
packages?

Also, does anyone also get the "failovermethod" messages when updating
dom0?

>>> "Unknown configuration value: failovermethod=priority in
>>> /var/lib/qubes/dom0-updates/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo;
>>> Configuration: OptionBinding with id "failovermethod" does not exist"
