Hi, I installed rpminspect on Fedora 31 and I got an error during updating the system afterwards: Steps: $ sudo dnf install rpminspect $ sudo dnf -y upgrade Last metadata expiration check: 0:24:49 ago on Wed 24 Jun 2020 08:57:24 AM CEST. Dependencies resolved. Problem: package librpminspect-0.13-1.fc31.x86_64 requires libmandoc.so.1()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed - package mandoc-1.14.5-12.fc31.x86_64 obsoletes libmandoc <= 1.14.5-10 provided by libmandoc-1.14.4-3.fc31.x86_64 - cannot install the best update candidate for package librpminspect-0.13-1.fc31.x86_64 - cannot install the best update candidate for package libmandoc-1.14.4-3.fc31.x86_64 Nothing to do. Complete! Would you mind looking into it?
Sorry about that. I pushed an update to mandoc for F-31 and yesterday moved it to the stable updates. But I have not yet rebuilt rpminspect on F-31. Let me do that today. In the mean time, you can use the F-31 Copr builds: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/dcantrell/rpminspect/ The Copr repo provides the most recent version from master if the test suite passes.
FEDORA-2020-22d970a8d1 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 31. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-22d970a8d1
FEDORA-2020-22d970a8d1 has been pushed to the Fedora 31 testing repository. In short time you'll be able to install the update with the following command: `sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing --advisory=FEDORA-2020-22d970a8d1` You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-22d970a8d1 See also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for more information on how to test updates.
No problem, David - it is actually only an error during dnf transaction for rpminspect, which doesn't stop the whole update. I'll update the summary accordingly. Please use a buildroot override in the future for updates like this in branched Fedoras - if you have a package which changed soname and other package depends on soname, then build the soname changed package, enable a buildroot override for the build and build the dependent package. Then both rebuilt packages push as a single bodhi update - it will prevent issues like this one.
FEDORA-2020-22d970a8d1 has been pushed to the Fedora 31 stable repository. If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report.
