This is a well known error in the spec file for the google earth file. It tries to own /usr/bin, which it can't own, and so fails. Here's a web reference to it. http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=302767 and here https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/85979/transaction-check-error-during-google-earth-install/ A long time ago I installed google earth, and used a work around on the spec file. I don't remember it now, but I think it involved rebuilding the rpm fixed to not own these system directories, and it worked with the rebuilt rpm file. The way to fix this so you can upgrade is by removing only google earth using rpm directly, instead of through dnf. rpm --erase --nodeps --test [google-earth-stable?] This will test the command without doing anything. When it does what you want, remove the --test option. After the upgrade, you can look for ways to re-install google earth. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
