Comment 1 Pavla Kratochvilova 2025-05-09 10:50:32 UTC

Hi, it seems you have libcurl-minimal installed, but dnf5-plugin-automatic requires libcurl-full, which is provided only by libcurl, which conflicts with libcurl-minimal. When you installed dnf-automatic, you likely installed the obsoleted dnf-automatic (for dnf4), but not the dnf5-plugin-automatic. And now during upgrade, dnf correctly complains that it cannot replace the obsoleted package (because of the libcurl conflicts).

To fix this, you can run:
1. dnf swap libcurl-minimal libcurl
2. dnf upgrade

Closing this as there is no bug in dnf.
