How can I solve it?

Thank you.

I don't know what's wrong with dnf, but I would suggest using the default and supported CentOS package manager yum instead.

[TrevorH]

That is a dnf bug and a very good reason for not using it.

[hack3rcon]

"yum" tell me that system is up to date but "dnf" show me that system need update!!!

[Sabrina]

Same thing, can someone help with that problem?

[stevemowbray]

You already have that kernel so yum is correct and dnf is buggy.

[avij]

Known issue in dnf:

As noted in those RHBZs, updating libsolv fixes the issue. But that version is not yet available in CentOS.

[toracat]

By the way, "that version" is libsolv-0.6.35-3.el7. I have built it, so anyone wishing to give is a try, let me know.
