I received this message while trying to update fedora 36 :

Config error: Parsing file “/etc/dnf/dnf.conf” failed: Parsing file ‘/etc/dnf/dnf.conf’ failed: IniParser: Missing section header at line 1

Can you paste the content of /etc/dnf/dnf.conf?

Well, if that’s really what you have then it’s not going to work.

Replace the file content with this:

# see `man dnf.conf` for defaults and possible options

[main]
gpgcheck=1
installonly_limit=3
clean_requirements_on_remove=True
best=False
skip_if_unavailable=True
### QUBES BEGIN ###
# This part of configuration, until QUBES END, is automatically generated by
# /usr/lib/qubes/update-proxy-configs. All changes here will be overriden.
# If you want to override any option set here, set it again to desired value,
# below this section

### QUBES END ###

Because I lack technical expertise, what precise text should I copy?

Or I should copy all the text ?!

You need all of it. Just copy everything and paste it into the file.

Your template seems messed up for some reason. I think you have no other choice than installing it again.
