Liferea is a victim of the pygobject upgrade fiasco. Switching to 1.16.5 , libpeas2 and with some additional fixes it should work for what is in f43, but I wonder if we should wait for 1.16.6 which seems to have another major refactor incoming Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 43-final by Fedora user decathorpe using the blocker tracking app because: liferea does not launch on Fedora 43 at all, apparently due to changes in pygobject3 3.52+. On a second thought I'll update to 1.16.5 that should at least work FEDORA-2025-472183cef0 (liferea-1.16.5-2.fc43) has been submitted as an update to Fedora 43. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-472183cef0 FEDORA-2025-472183cef0 has been pushed to the Fedora 43 testing repository. Soon you'll be able to install the update with the following command: `sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing --refresh --advisory=FEDORA-2025-472183cef0` You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-472183cef0 See also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for more information on how to test updates.
