Description of problem: I ran sudo dnf offline-upgrade download in a F34 KDE Plasma installation with updates-testing enabled. The following dnf errors occurred which indicated problems with ghostscript-core. Problem 1: package ghostscript-core-9.53.3-5.fc34.x86_64 requires ghostscript(x86-64) = 9.53.3-5.fc34, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install both ghostscript-9.54.0-1.fc34.x86_64 and ghostscript-9.53.3-5.fc34.x86_64 - cannot install the best update candidate for package ghostscript-core-9.53.3-5.fc34.x86_64 - cannot install the best update candidate for package ghostscript-9.53.3-5.fc34.x86_64 Problem 2: problem with installed package ghostscript-core-9.53.3-5.fc34.x86_64 - package ghostscript-core-9.53.3-5.fc34.x86_64 requires ghostscript-tools-fonts(x86-64) = 9.53.3-5.fc34, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install both ghostscript-tools-fonts-9.54.0-1.fc34.x86_64 and ghostscript-tools-fonts-9.53.3-5.fc34.x86_64 - cannot install the best update candidate for package ghostscript-tools-fonts-9.53.3-5.fc34.x86_64 ghostscript-9.54.0-1.fc34 doesn't contain ghostscript-core which I had installed https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1748699 The same errors happened when I ran sudo dnf upgrade --refresh Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ghostscript-9.54.0-1.fc34.x86_64 How reproducible: The dnf errors happened 2/2 times. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot a F34 KDE Plasma installation updated to 2021-5-20 2. Log in to Plasma on Wayland 3. Start Konsole 4. sudo dnf offline-upgrade download or sudo dnf upgrade --refresh with updates-testing enabled Actual results: dnf errors with ghostscript-9.54.0-1.fc34 Expected results: No errors would happen. Additional info: These are the ghostscript packages I had installed. ghostscript-0:9.53.3-5.fc34.x86_64 ghostscript-core-0:9.53.3-5.fc34.x86_64 ghostscript-tools-fonts-0:9.53.3-5.fc34.x86_64 ghostscript-tools-printing-0:9.53.3-5.fc34.x86_64 libgs-0:9.53.3-5.fc34.x86_64
This comes from the fact that this update removed both the core package and the "conflicts" without adding a provides/obsoletes. I guess it would make more sense to do the gs954 first (as in my original pull request) and the change in package structure after (or the other way round), in any case testing upgrades with the new package structure... To the packager's defense: The spec file contained comments which could be misread as "remove all these at once after F28 is EOLed", and so he did. It's the "at once" without a "provides" which created the problems. Compare with the entries for libgs providing ghostscript-devel.

For now new Ghostscript 9.54.0 will stay only in Rawhide, where the update problem is fixed with ghostscript-9.54.0-2. Update will be unpushed from Fedora 33 and 34 at the moment, because of an incompatible changes in ghostscript.
