If you had moved to f35 and then f36 it probably would have succeeded. Others are suggesting a new install of the latest stable fedora version. And that is good advice, but I'll give you advice on how I would recover if I faced this situation. Because both versions are end of life, their repositories will be frozen at what was in them when they were changed to EOL. Check if the two packages fedora-repos and fedora-release were installed during the upgrade. rpm -qi fedora-repos rpm -qi fedora-release If they are f36 versions, skip the next paragraph. If 34 versions are still there along with the f36 versions, you will have to remove them, making sure you remove only the f34 version dnf remove [fedora-repos f34 version] [fedora-release f34 version] If f36 versions weren't there, what you should do is go to koji and download and install the two packages fedora-repos https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2143081 fedora-release https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2095759 for f36. dnf -C update [fedora-repos f36 pkg] [fedora-release f36 pkg] Once that is done, dnf distrosync That should pull in all possible f36 package updates for packages you have installed, and install them. You will only have one kernel, so you should probably go back to koji and install at least a second kernel for f36, so you have a fallback. That should be this one, https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2194405 You will have to download all the rpms that you currently have installed for the kernel and install them individually. dnf -C install $(ls kernel*.rpm) There will probably be packages that don't have updates and have conflicts that you will have to work around, as well. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
