Looks like packagekitd is happily performing the update and then dnf
offline updater kicks in and decides to reboot in the middle of that:

dic 13 09:39:49 angus.unipv.it pk-offline-update[672]: percentage 6%
dic 13 09:39:49 angus.unipv.it dnf[674]: Error: use 'dnf system-upgrade
reboot' to begin the upgrade
dic 13 09:39:49 angus.unipv.it systemd[1]: dnf-system-upgrade.service:
Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
dic 13 09:39:49 angus.unipv.it systemd[1]: Failed to start System
Upgrade using DNF.
dic 13 09:39:49 angus.unipv.it systemd[1]: dnf-system-upgrade.service:

dic 13 09:39:49 angus.unipv.it systemd[1]: dnf-system-upgrade.service:
Failed with result 'exit-code'.
dic 13 09:39:49 angus.unipv.it systemd[1]: Rebooting: service failed

Probably the same as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1519543
