Description of problem: Requirement to install qt5-qtdeclarative-devel. Implement dnf install, causes transaction failure : Error: Transaction check error: file /usr/lib64/libQt5QuickWidgets.so.5 from install of qt5-qtdeclarative-devel-5.6.0-4.fc23.x86_64 conflicts with file from package qt5-qtdeclarative-5.5.0-2.fc23.x86_64 Follow instructions "dnf clean packages" same issue occurs. Implement "dnf upgrade qt5-qtdeclarative-devel", response is that : Package qt5-qtdeclarative-devel not installed, cannot update it. As such, cannot install, and since not installed - cannot upgrade. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):5.6.0 How reproducible: On my PC, unable to progress - hence is reproducible. Steps to Reproduce: 1.dnf install qt5-qtdeclarative-devel (fails with Transaction error) 2.dnf clean packages (successful) 3.dnf upgrade qt5-qtdeclarative-devel (package is not installed - cannot upgrade) Actual results: As per description - cannot install, and since system states not installed, cannot upgrade. Expected results: Should be success to install or upgrade - all other packages are ok. Additional info: Clean Fedora 23 build (17/05/2016) - no issues - all working ok. Qt is working for Qt Creator and Designer - just Qt Quick not working which requires the packages unable to install. Entire system is up to date. Only used basic commands to install - which is "dnf" from command line. Not sure of the severity - hence marked low.
OK, so there's 2 problems: * clearly a packaging bug: qt5-qtdeclarative-devel should not own libQt5QuickWidgets.so.5 I'll fix this asap * dnf is doing something screwy, qt5-qtdeclarative-devel had a hard, versioned dep on it's own qt5-qtdeclarative main package. Meaning, they should always install the same version's, but in this case it's not: qt5-qtdeclarative-devel-5.6.0-4.fc23.x86_64 vs qt5-qtdeclarative-5.5.0-2.fc23.x86_64 dnf *should* try to install/upgrade qt5-qtdeclarative-5.6.0-4.fc23.x86_64 too Can you post the full output from: rpm -q qt5-qtdeclarative dnf install qt5-qtdeclarative-devel ?
that said, it may be worth installing all (stable) updates first, before you try to install anything else new: dnf update that may help mitigate the problem here as well.

Hi Rex, Yes - have done this already - all packages are up to date - nothing to do message returned. Thanks and regards, Shadders.

# rpm -q qt5-qtdeclarative qt5-qtdeclarative-5.5.0-2.fc23.x86_64 qt5-qtdeclarative-5.6.0-4.fc23.x86_64 that's part of the problem... you should only have one qt5-qtdeclarative pkg. I'd suggest trying (as root) rpm -e qt5-qtdeclarative-5.5.0-2.fc23
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
