Hi,
I think to have, now, a right sight of the problem...
I installed an old version of dconf-Editor.
I did this because I didn't control the link that suggested me where take the package.
Doing this mistake I have now on my computer some old API(s) that don't allow me to install the new package.
The output of the program that failed the new installation suggest me:
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
But this advice is not good because the presence of the old API (s) could still break my system in ways quite painful.
In this situation, of course, I need remove this old API.
The old API are dconf-0.18.0-2.fc20.x86_64... (I think)
I can think that there are some possibilities to handle this problem:
- yum autoremove
- remove dependencies
- package-cleanup
.....
But my current knowledge of Linux does not allow me to perform this task safely.
So I'd like to get some advice on how to delete these old API.
Thank youI think to have, now, a right sight of the problem...

And if you want the older version of dconf-editor that you got from someplace else, they you need to replace the Fedora dconf package with the matching dconf from the same place you got dconf-editor.
>To further emphasise something depending on potential changes in API doing a downgrade of dconf from 0.18 to 0.15 could break your system in pretty painful ways.
