Description Elliott Sales de Andrade 2020-05-03 07:18:47 UTC 
Description of problem:
python2-beautifulsoup4 is no longer available on Fedora 32, but upgrades from 31 will fail because its dependency python2-lxml is also unavailable:

$ podman run --rm -it fedora:31
[root@15779061faaa /]# dnf install python2-beautifulsoup4
Dependencies resolved.

Error: 
 Problem: package python2-beautifulsoup4-4.9.0-1.fc31.noarch requires python2-lxml, but none of the providers can be installed
  - python2-lxml-4.4.0-1.fc31.x86_64 does not belong to a distupgrade repository
  - problem with installed package python2-beautifulsoup4-4.9.0-1.fc31.noarch
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python2-beautifulsoup4-4.9.0-1.fc31.noarch


Actual results:
Upgrade fails because of conflicts.


Expected results:
python2-beautifulsoup4 should be obsoleted, by either fedora-obsolete-packages, or the python3 version.

Comment 1 Nikolaos Perrakis 2020-05-03 11:29:22 UTC 
I had the same issue when upgrading from Fedora MATE 31 to Fedora MATE 32. Manually deleted the offending package solved the problem.
There is a python3-beautifulsoup4 package and that package can (should?) be replaced with that. Actually after having manually removed the offending packaged the python3 replacement did end up installed on my system.

Looking at reverse dependencies two possible culprits are:

$ dnf repoquery --installed --whatrequires python3-beautifulsoup4
calibre-0:4.13.0-1.fc32.x86_64
translate-toolkit-0:2.5.0-1.fc32.noarch
Comment 2 Terje Røsten 2020-05-03 12:07:57 UTC 
This seems to be dup of 1830231, which has fix in updates-testing. 

Use podman I get and enabling updates-testing I get:

# dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=32

...

Removing dependent packages:
 python2-backports       x86_64 1.0-17.fc31      @fedora         638  
 python2-backports-functools_lru_cache
                         noarch 1.5-6.fc31       @fedora          17 k
 python2-beautifulsoup4  noarch 4.9.0-1.fc31     @updates        1.0 M
 python2-lxml            x86_64 4.4.0-1.fc31     @fedora         5.0 M
 python2-soupsieve       noarch 1.9.2-1.fc31     @fedora         242 k

which indicate problem is solved by 1830231.
