Qubes OS version (e.g., R3.2):

Qubes R3.2

Affected TemplateVMs (e.g., fedora-23, if applicable):

fedora-23


Expected behavior:

The /var/cache/yum directory is not used in Fedora 23; it should be empty. (All package manager cache is in /var/cache/dnf now).

Actual behavior:

The fedora-23 template has 212 MB of data in {{/var/cache/yum}}, all of

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

[user@fedora-23 ~]$ du -sh /var/cache/yum
212M	/var/cache/yum
# Look at the age of the data
[user@fedora-23 ~]$ ls -lah /var/cache/yum/x86_64/23/fedora/
total 19M
