Try running dnf update like: dnf update --best --allowerasing --best for using the best available version --allowerasing for allowing removal of obsoleted packages. This isn't a solution, because it just upgrades fontbox and pdfbox while removing jempbox and jabref as jabref depends on jempbox which is obsoleted by the new pdfbox package. Actually, in Fedora 28, they come from same package but different version: # dnf repoquery -i jempbox Name : jempbox Version : 1.8.13 Release : 4.fc28 ... Source : pdfbox-1.8.13-4.fc28.src.rpm ... URL : http://pdfbox.apache.org/ ... # dnf repoquery -i pdf Name : pdfbox Version : 2.0.9 Release : 2.fc28 ... Source : pdfbox-2.0.9-2.fc28.src.rpm ... URL : http://pdfbox.apache.org/ ... Name : pdfbox Version : 1.8.13 Release : 4.fc28 ... Source : pdfbox-1.8.13-4.fc28.src.rpm ... URL : http://pdfbox.apache.org/ ... In my case, I install jabref as new package (fresh install), and jempbox is installed as dependency. If I remove the packages. then reinstall them via dnf install jabref and the do a dnf update, I still prints the problems listed above. But JabRef works fine so I think I can live with it.

But JabRef works > fine so I think I can live with it. I just hit this too. The implication seems to be that everyone who has jabref installed is going to be getting these error messages. Since no-one else is reporting it, it suggests they are ignoring the error messages. I can live with it too. But I'm pretty sure that encouraging users to ignore dnf error messages is, long term, a counter-productive policy. Checking the jabref mailing lists, it looks like the dependency of jabref on jempbox should be removed for 2.0: https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/pull/1096 Best Wishes Bob This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life. On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 28. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '28'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 28 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. It is still broken on Fedora 30. Fedora 28 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-05-28. Fedora 28 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. This is still an issue in Fedora 30. rpm jabref-2.10-5.fc28.noarch |
