Description of problem: Attempts to run updates bumps into the following: Problem 1: package maven-doxia-1.9-1.fc32.noarch obsoletes maven-doxia-module-markdown < 1.9-1.fc32 provided by maven-doxia-module-markdown-1.7-12.fc32.noarch - package maven-site-plugin-3.6-6.fc30.noarch requires mvn(org.apache.maven.doxia:doxia-module-markdown), but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install the best update candidate for package maven-doxia-1.7-12.fc32.noarch - problem with installed package maven-site-plugin-3.6-6.fc30.noarch Problem 2: cannot install both maven-doxia-core-1.9-1.fc32.noarch and maven-doxia-core-1.7-12.fc32.noarch - package maven-doxia-module-itext-1.7-10.fc30.noarch requires mvn(org.apache.maven.doxia:doxia-core) = 1.7, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install the best update candidate for package maven-doxia-core-1.7-12.fc32.noarch - problem with installed package maven-doxia-module-itext-1.7-10.fc30.noarch Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): maven-doxia-1.9-1.fc32 Additional info: Forcing a removal of maven-site-plugin and maven-doxia-module-itext allows an update to proceed.
These are actually two different issues: - maven-site-plugin was retired - maven-doxia-module-itext was removed but not obsoleted I will push a maven-doxia build fixing the second issue to rawhide later. I think the first issue qualifies as a case where maven-site-plugin should be added to fedora-obsolete-packages, since its presence is actually causing upgrade issues in / to rawhide. I will submit a Pull Request.
Alright, I fixed the issue with the removed -itext module in this build: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=37861034 I also filed a request to add maven-site-plugin to the list of obsolete packages in fedora 32.

Looking at related stuff it seem that there are also hanging around packages like maven-downloader-1.1-16.fc29.noarch maven-jxr-2.5-8.fc29.noarch maven-plugin-jxr-2.5-8.fc29.noarch which seems to be gone. Maybe they should be added to obsolete packages too?
Are these packages causing dependency issues as well? If not, then there's no reason to obsolete them.

Unless they cause upgrade issues, there's no reason to obsolete them. Only broken packages should be removed from user's systems this way. > maven-downloader-1.1-16.fc29.noarch > maven-jxr-2.5-8.fc29.noarch > maven-plugin-jxr-2.5-8.fc29.noarch Also, I'm not really the right person to do / decide this, since I am not associated with these 3 packages at all :)
Alright, the original two problems are fixed now.
