I Learned this morning that PackageKit and dnf on Fedora (with Gnome) are two completely independent, parallel ways of keeping software up to date on your system. If you only use dnf (like I do), the default PackageKit setup will happily keep downloading .rpm files into a cache and will seemingly never delete them. Eventually hilarity will ensue when you run out of disk space (as I did)...

I've had this happen when using packagekit, particularly when things time out

Huh. Good to know.

I enjoy hilarity, but I prefer to choose when it ensues.
