Hi, I trying to update to fedora 26 alpha and the update fails due to: package devassistant-dap-c-0.11-3.fc24.noarch requires devassistant-dap-vim, but none of the providers can be installed. package devassistant-dap-cpp-0.11-3.fc24.noarch requires devassistant-dap-vim, but none of the providers can be installed. package devassistant-dap-nodejs-0.11-3.fc24.noarch requires devassistant-dap-vim, but none of the providers can be installed. package devassistant-dap-perl-0.11-3.fc24.noarch requires devassistant-dap-vim, but none of the providers can be installed. package devassistant-dap-php-0.11-3.fc24.noarch requires devassistant-dap-vim, but none of the providers can be installed. package devassistant-dap-python-0.11-3.fc24.noarch requires devassistant-dap-vim, but none of the providers can be installed. package devassistant-dap-ruby-0.11-3.fc24.noarch requires devassistant-dap-vim, but none of the providers can be installed. package devassistant-dap-devassistant-0.11-3.fc24.noarch requires devassistant-dap-python, but none of the providers can be installed. package devassistant-gui-0.11.2-7.fc25.noarch requires python(abi) = 3.5, but none of the providers can be installed. package devassistant-gui-0.11.2-7.fc25.noarch requires python(abi) = 3.5, but none of the providers can be installed. package devassistant-gui-0.11.2-7.fc25.noarch requires python(abi) = 3.5, but none of the providers can be installed. package devassistant-dap-custom-0.10.0-9.fc24.noarch requires devassistant-dap-github, but none of the providers can be installed. package devassistant-dap-dap-1.3-3.fc24.noarch requires devassistant-dap-github, but none of the providers can be installed. package devassistant-gui-0.11.2-7.fc25.noarch requires python(abi) = 3.5, but none of the providers can be installed. package devassistant-gui-0.11.2-7.fc25.noarch requires python(abi) = 3.5, but none of the providers can be installed. package devassistant-gui-0.11.2-7.fc25.noarch requires python(abi) = 3.5, but none of the providers can be installed. package devassistant-gui-0.11.2-7.fc25.noarch requires python(abi) = 3.5, but none of the providers can be installed I think the main problem is package devassistant-gui-0.11.2-7.fc25.noarch requires python(abi) = 3.5, but none of the providers can be installed. From what I see on koji, it was rebuild for Python 3.6 (https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=841778). But in bodhi, it looks the update was never pushed (https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?packages=devassistant). So I guess it was build after the version was branched. Can you push the update?
bkabrda, can you make a declaration of intent on this (will/won't be fixed)? Still missing with F26 beta now out (like Julien I noticed it's the only package set that is missing when trying to upgrade, causing an --allowerasing upgrade requirement).
Stephen, Bohuslav no longer works on the project. Adding Miro Hroncok, the current maintainer, to needinfo. The project is basically dead now, so I would expect the negative answer.
Devassistant was entirely removed as a dead project from Fedora 26+. Does this break the update from F25 or F24 to F26?
F25->F26, breaks system-upgrade unless --allowerasing is used.
Honestly, I have no idea how to deal with that. Maybe Adam can advise here?
As Stephen said, you need to use --allowerasing or uninstall devassistant first. No a big deal but it is annoying. And you don't know why devassistant is not available. I had no idea devassistant was retired as a dead package. Maybe we need a way to handle this within the upgrade procedure.
There's no fundamental F26 package that can be set to obsolete devassistant? Or some new hotness package (Builder??) maybe to do the same? Or is that too hacky/slightly abusive of the obsoletes mechanism?
Yes, there is: it's called fedora-obsolete-packages . You can file a bug on fedora-obsolete-packages , requesting that it add an Obsoletes for devassistant (and any subpackages, of course).
Filed: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1463408 Miro, can you check the package list there?
