Description of problem: ntop-5.0.1-15.fc28 (still in F29 release, presumably because of FTBFS #1605260) requires libgdbm.so.4(), but in F29, gdbm-libs-1.18-1.fc29 provides libgdbm.so.6() & libgdbm_compat.so.4(), while compat-gdbm-libs-1.14.1-7.fc29 provides libgdbm.so.5(). In F28, they were libgdbm.so.5() & libgdbm_compat.so.4(), and libgdbm.so.4(), so it wasn't a problem. Now, it is. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ntop-5.0.1-15.fc28 Additional info: Since this is currently FTBFS & looks likely to be orphaned, I suppose there's a fair chance I'll have to either write this one off, or adopt it. Then I'd have to figure out how to point it at one of the extant versions.... Meanwhile, it's blocking my F29 upgrade, because Problem 4: problem with installed package ntop-5.0.1-15.fc28.x86_64 - package ntop-5.0.1-15.fc28.x86_64 requires libgdbm.so.4()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed - compat-gdbm-1.14-5.fc28.x86_64 does not belong to a distupgrade repository
In F29 yum install ntop fails whith Error: Problem: conflicting requests - nothing provides libgdbm.so.4()(64bit) needed by ntop-5.0.1-15.fc28.x86_64 - nothing provides libnetsnmp.so.30()(64bit) needed by ntop-5.0.1-15.fc28.x86_64
Actually it's evidently but just to show that meet the same problem. I've tried to install ntop on freshly installed F29 and sure got the same broken deps.
Is anyone looking at this? Please consider this important - users who use ntop are not the typical end-user imho. Thanks!
Starting a fresh Fedora 29 install via anaconda's GUI, selecting "KDE Plasma Workspaces" with the "Security Lab" add-on (and no other selections), and the default mirror setting ("Closest mirror"): Anaconda throws "Error checking software dependencies" with the above-noted dependency issue.
Enabling testing repos does not help, so it is not the matter of unpushed updates. Please consider to take a look at this, it is sometimes hard to live w/o ntop.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 29 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 29 on 2019-11-26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '29'. 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 29 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.
