Hi [@RazTN7](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/4525)

I had this situation when ie all network passes were open to Mission Control. I was then getting a message about a problem downloading an update - exactly like what you have.

In addition, verify the selinux settings.

Anything specific in settings I need to look after?
