Description anotheruser 2026-09-16 05:31:16 UTC

currently it's not possible to upgrade to F45-beta if  gnome-shell-extension-freon is installed on the system. 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf install gnome-shell-extension-freon    on a f43 or f44 system
2. try upgrading to f45  via 'dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=45'
3.
Actual Results:
dnf bails out with:
Problem 1: problem with installed package
  - package gnome-shell-extension-freon-2:60-2.fc45.noarch from fedora requires (gnome-shell(api) = 45 or gnome-shell(api) = 46 or gnome-shell(api) = 47 or gnome-shell(api) = 48 or gnome-shell(api) = 49 or gnome-shell(api) = 50), but none of the providers can be installed
  - gnome-shell-extension-freon-2:60-1.fc44.noarch does not belong to a distupgrade repository
  - gnome-shell-50.4-1.fc44.x86_64 does not belong to a distupgrade repository

Expected Results:
system should download f45  rpm archives.

Additional Information:
I think  gnome-shell-extension-freon.noarch 2:61-1.fc45  needs to be pushed to stable, because  'dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=45 --enable-repo updates-testing'  works as a workaround.

Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2026-09-16 05:34:02 UTC

Proposed as a Blocker for 45-final by Fedora user anotheruser using the blocker tracking app because:

 upgrade should be possible w/o  enabling repo updates-testing    or removing  gnome-shell-extension-freon  before upgrading to f45

The update is here, but has no karma, please provide feedback, so that it can be pushed stable sooner:

Comment 3 anotheruser 2026-09-21 09:37:17 UTC

gnome-shell-extension-freon                               noarch 2:61-1.fc45                      fedora     281.1 KiB
   replacing gnome-shell-extension-freon                   noarch 2:60-1.fc44                      fedora     252.2 KiB
