    Further to Sasi's comment, I have discovered that what's happening is in /var/cache/dnf there is a file called expired_repos.json :
     
    ["AIX_Toolbox"]
     
    This is where the files we want to install are. I've tried removing the file editing it but whenever I do a "dnf <SOMETHING>" command, the file keeps coming back and resetting that entry to the above. I can't find a way making that repo unexpired or stopping that file getting created. Maybe a dnf bug.

    Update.

    We got it working again

    Fix

    1. Deleted all files in the local repositories
    2. Re sync the repos

    Question: 

    When running dnf update we encountered this error:

    Error: Failed to download metadata for repo AIX Toolbox/repodata/repomd.xml

    Had to download this repodata/* for each repo than dnf update worked fine.

    Is there a process to sync this repodata/ dir during the reposync process?
