Description of problem: I upgraded one machine from f19 to f21 using [1] and substituted dnf for the yum. Then running: # dnf install system-release-workstation Error: package generic-release-workstation-21-7.noarch requires generic-release = 21-7, but none of the providers can be installed Yum output is much more helpful: # yum install system-release-workstation ... Error: fedora-release-workstation conflicts with fedora-relase-server-21.0.16.noarch Error: fedora-release-server conflicts with fedora-release-worsktation-21-0.16.noarch By still not being optimal the yum output lead me easily to conclusion that I have to do: yum swap system-release-server system-release-workstation which worked correctly. [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dnf-0.6.2-1.fc21.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade f19 to f21 by using dnf (there is very probably more simple reproducer) 2. dnf install system-release-workstation Actual results: Cryptic error message Expected results: Something that will guide user that she/he needs to swap system-release-server to system-release-workstation, at least something similar to the yum output.
Hi Jaroslav, "dnf install system-release-workstation --allowerasing" should work. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1148630 ***
