Comment 1 Adam Williamson 2018-02-06 19:37:46 UTC
Seeing this (at least one case of it) in F26 Workstation -> F28 (rawhide) i686 upgrade test in openQA currently:

https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/190849#step/upgrade_run/13

file /boot/efi/EFI/fedora from install of grub2-common-1:2.02-24.fc28.noarch conflicts with file from package fwupdate-efi-8-4.fc26.i686

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2018-02-20 15:28:12 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 28 development cycle.
Changing version to '28'.

Comment 3 alweiner7 2018-05-28 18:57:40 UTC
I experienced a similar failure when upgrading from F27 Workstation (32-bit) to F28 Workstation.

Error: transaction check error
file /boot/efi/EFI/fedora from install of grub2-common-1:2.02-34.fc28.noarch conflicts with file from package fwupdate-efi-8-4.fc26.i686

This happened on a 2003 (15-year old) Dell desktop PC that is 32-bit only and does not support an efi bios. (I use this PC for backups).

Is there a workaround so that I can finish the upgrade?

Comment 4 Adam Williamson 2018-05-28 19:30:34 UTC
Removing fwupdate-efi should be safe, I believe.

Comment 5 Murray 2018-06-06 15:22:44 UTC
I have this error when going from 27 Workstation to 28 Workstation 
Error: Transaction check error:
  file /boot/efi/EFI/fedora from install of grub2-common-1:2.02-34.fc28.noarch conflicts with file from package fwupdate-efi-8-4.fc26.i686

root can not access it to delete the older one.

How there been any update to this bug because I received the same.  I am using a 32 bit, 11-year-old Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop running Fedora 27.  Did anyone try Adams' workaround?  I had the same issue last year when upgrading to Fedora 27 however the solution from last year is not working this year.  Please advise?

I removed fwupdate-libs-8-4.fc26.i686 and fwupdate-efi-8-4.fc26.i686
and grub2-efi  received the same error message.

I removed fwupdate-efi-8-4.fc26.i686 (using dnf remove) and the F27 -> F28 upgrade then completed successfully.

Comment 9 Ben Cotton 2019-05-02 21:36:54 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life.
On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for
Fedora 28. 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that are no longer maintained.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 '28'.

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 28 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.

Comment 10 Ben Cotton 2019-05-28 20:35:10 UTC
Fedora 28 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-05-28. Fedora 28 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.
