See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F30_bugs#Conflicts_between_fedora-release_packages_when_installing_package_groups Short version is: you can no longer have two different fedora-release-* packages on the system. Pick the one that best represents how you want the system to report itself and remove the other. Ah, I see, thanks. You may want to change that page and write there that using --allowerasing breaks the system in a way that it cannot boot any more. I just tried it and reproduced bug #1710543 with it (using system-upgrade, not distro-sync, this time). Hi, I'm having a similar problem. Following https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F30_bugs#Conflicts_between_fedora-release_packages_when_installing_package_groups I've tried: # dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=30 --excludepkg fedora-release-matecompiz But I'm getting the following error: ... Error: Problem: package fedora-release-matecompiz-29-10.noarch requires fedora-release = 29-10, but none of the providers can be installed - problem with installed package fedora-release-matecompiz-29-10.noarch - fedora-release-29-10.noarch does not belong to a distupgrade repository - package fedora-release-matecompiz-30-3.noarch is excluded - package fedora-release-matecompiz-30-1.noarch is excluded (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages) I'm wondering why "fedora-release-matecompiz-29-10.noarch" isn't excluded by "--excludepkg fedora-release-matecompiz" ? Should I use the --skip-broken option ? Cheers (In reply to pierre.blarre from comment #3) > I'm wondering why "fedora-release-matecompiz-29-10.noarch" isn't excluded by > "--excludepkg fedora-release-matecompiz" ? It is excluded, it is written twice in your output. The problem is that the old package has a dependency on an older version of fedora-release, which is being updated, which would break the excluded package. > Should I use the --skip-broken option ? Rather than that, I suggest to solve the problem manually, which means remove one of the fedora-release-XXXXX packages before doing the upgrade. That's better, because the --skip-broken will not update fedora-release, which is not what you want. You can simply: $ rpm -qa | grep fedora-release pick one of the fedora-release-XXXXX you do not want to keep (I do not know which you've installed, but say for example fedora-release-workstation) and: # dnf remove fedora-release-XXXXX and then continue with the upgrade. (In reply to Milan Crha from comment #4) Thanks, that did it. > > $ rpm -qa | grep fedora-release > Output: fedora-release-notes-28.01-2.fc29.noarch fedora-release-29-10.noarch fedora-release-workstation-29-10.noarch fedora-release-matecompiz-29-10.noarch Then: dnf remove fedora-release-matecompiz-29-10.noarch Then upgrade worked! |
