Description Lukas Ruzicka 2021-08-19 10:16:49 UTC

Description of problem:

According to this article, Fedora 35 will no longer contain the authselect-compat package (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RemoveAuthselectCompatPackage).

However any attempt to upgrade from Fedora 34 will choke on the broken update path:

Error:
 Problem 1: package authselect-compat-1.2.3-1.fc34.x86_64 requires authselect(x86-64) = 1.2.3-1.fc34, but none of the providers can be installed
  - authselect-1.2.3-1.fc34.x86_64 does not belong to a distupgrade repository
  - problem with installed package authselect-compat-1.2.3-1.fc34.x86_64


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Fedora 34, latest update on 19th Aug, 2021.
authselect-compat-1.2.3-1.fc34.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try upgrading to F35, using dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=35.

Actual results:

Upgrade is not possible, not even with --skip-broken. 

Expected results:

No problems with system upgrade. The package should be properly retired.

Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2021-08-19 11:59:59 UTC

Proposed as a Blocker for 35-beta by Fedora user lruzicka using the blocker tracking app because:

 I am proposing this bug to be a blocker because it prevents Fedora 34 from clean upgrades to Fedora 35 even on freshly installed and updated systems.

See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_35_Beta_Release_Criteria#Upgrade_requirements

This looks to have been reported and fixed already as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1993189 , but we didn't get a Branched compose for several days due to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1993505 , so you're still seeing it with the live repos. A compose got through today, so this should go away soon.
