Description of problem: An attempt to install current updates on an F23 installation fails with: Error: package kf5-kactivities-5.19.0-1.fc23.x86_64 requires libkactivitymanagerd_plugin.so()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed I see in Changelog for kf5-kactivities-5.21.0-1.fc23: * Fri Mar 25 2016 Rex Dieter <rdieter> 5.20.0-2 - provide no main pkg anymore (Obsoletes'd by kactivitymanger-5.5.0+) (I guess that this was supposed to be "kactivitymanager" instead of "manger") but in reality a package with such "obsoletes" does not seem to available anywhere and hilarity ensues. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kf5-kactivities-5.21.0-1.fc23 Additional info: To make all this more "interesting" 'dnf --best', as opposed to yum, seems to be unable to skip packages with broken dependencies and immediately abandons the whole transaction unless explicitely instructed with '--exclude=kf5-kactivities-libs'. A "bare" dnf does end up with: Skipping packages with broken dependencies: kf5-kactivities-libs x86_64 5.21.0-1.fc23 updates 139 k My guess would be that not only F23 is affected that way.
Having a similar problem. When trying to do F23 updates (dnf upgrade) today. At the end of the list of packages it shows this: Skipping packages with broken dependencies: kf5-kactivities-libs x86_64 5.21.0-1.fc23 updates 139 k Transaction Summary ========================================================================================================================================= Install 1 Package Upgrade 96 Packages Skip 1 Package Total download size: 91 M Is this ok [y/N]: If I attempt to install the package by itself, I get: # dnf install --best kf5-kactivities-libs Last metadata expiration check: 0:07:16 ago on Mon Apr 11 11:45:24 2016.

Error: package kf5-kactivities-5.19.0-1.fc23.x86_64 requires libkactivitymanagerd_plugin.so()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed (try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages) # What package provides: libactivitymanagerd_plugin.so() (64bit)?
If I try the install with the --allowerasing parm, I get what is described in Bug 1325722. # dnf install --best --allowerasing kf5-kactivities-libs Last metadata expiration check: 0:23:15 ago on Mon Apr 11 11:45:24 2016.
