Installed Brave on a Fedora Linux workstation. Upgraded to 40 at some point. Brave updates used to come in regularly, but, for a while now, Brave claims that it is outdated and needs to be updated - but apparently can’t. Re-adding package repositories and updating packages using dnf didn’t change that.
Are there any known issues with the Fedora package repositories of Brave…?
Thanks and best regards,
Kristian
Hello @z428
what your current version of brave
go to terminal and run the following command
brave-browser --version
could you also tell me the output of the following command
dnf repoinfo brave-browser
also what the output of
dnf check-upgrade
and have a nice day 
Hi, sure:
If I get the Brave changelogs right, this hasn’t been updated for quite a while now…?
Thanks and have a pleasant day too! 
Hello @z428
that’s weird
could you run sudo dnf clean expire-cache
then run sudo dnf update
check if it show any update available
if did not show update then remove the repo
sudo rm /etc/yum.repos.d/brave-browser.repo
then re add it from https://brave.com/linux/#fedora-rockyrhel
hope that help and have a nice day
Hi there; and thanks, very much, for the support. Unfortunately: No change. Did all these, ending up with re-adding the package repository, trying to install the browser and (little surprise) learning that Brave (the version I use) already is installed. 
Strange… really strange… . 
Have a pleasant morning!
Yeah, tried pretty much all of that. No chance, no change. Odd. 
Thanks anyway for your support, enjoy your day!
you welcome and sorry for late replay
i have no idea what could be the cause
let me ask @fmarier from the team to help you
short story z428 upgraded his fedora workstation to version 40 but since that upgrade dnf does not see any available update for brave even after remove the brave repo and re add it again
and have a nice day for both of you

Here are a few more commands for which the output would be useful to know as we try to figure out what went wrong on your machine:

Thanks all… meanwhile and for whichever reasons, it seems Brave is up-to-date again. That’s odd, also because I didn’t really notice the system pulling any update. Not sure what happened here, can’t either reproduce problem nor solution but it’s simply gone by now.
Thanks for your support, have a pleasant weekend!
