Description Milan Crha 2023-09-05 16:05:12 UTC

Cannot install devel packages due to broken rawhide due to python3 (I guess).

# dnf install glib2-devel

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Miro Hrončok 2023-09-05 16:54:09 UTC

The entire problem is this:

Your libblockdev-vdo-2.24-6.fc34.x86_64 package is very old, it comes from Fedora 34.

libblockdev no longer includes it since then: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libblockdev/c/5e985ab28c5d4b9ba6e67c31d9a5bf58f684e7c6?branch=rawhide and later https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libblockdev/c/965d13a3124067c2b3968bcb2ee9c4effb0db35c?branch=rawhide


The old libblockdev-vdo requires libbd_utils.so.2()(64bit) which is only provided by libblockdev version 2.

However, the version of python3-blockdev that was rebuilt with Python 3.12 requires libblockdev version 3.


You should be able to uninstall libblockdev-vdo from your system, which should unblock the update.




libblockdev-vdo was never obsoleted. All users who have it installed will hit this issue when upgrading to libblockdev version 3. I believe it would be best solved by adding:

  Obsoletes: libblockdev-vdo < 3

To libblockdev.
