The issue with qgnomeplatform makes it look like the maintainer hasn't bothered to produce a qt6 version, or as indicated it doesn't obsolete the qt5 version. While removing the conflicting package usually removes the conflict issue, it is not necessarily a good idea as if qgnomeplatform was a manual install for a specific purpose, the equivalent package may not be installed with the upgrade to F41, and hence will be required to be reinstalled after researching what actually needs to be installed. This sort of thing shouldn't be need to be done, especially if the package is unique to Fedora, or if as I have found on several occasions, where the package name is not unique to Fedora, install instructions for Ubuntu or any other linux distribution don't necessarily work for Fedora.Robert Nichols via users wrote:I am trying to upgrade my laptop to Fedora 41, but I cannot get a clean update state in the current Fedora 40. I ran "dnf update" successfully and it installed many updates including a new kernel. After a reboot, much to my surprise dnfdragora reported 18 updates available. Running "dnf update" again resulted in installation of most of these, but also reported: Problem 1: package qgnomeplatform-qt5-0.9.2-18.fc40.x86_64 from @System requires qgnomeplatform-common = 0.9.2-18.fc40, but none of the providers can be installed - package qt6-qtbase-common-6.8.1-11.fc40.noarch from updates obsoletes qgnomeplatform-common <= 0.9.3 provided by qgnomeplatform-common-0.9.2-18.fc40.noarch from @System - package qt6-qtbase-common-6.8.1-11.fc40.noarch from updates obsoletes qgnomeplatform-common <= 0.9.3 provided by qgnomeplatform-common-0.9.2-18.fc40.noarch from updates - cannot install the best update candidate for package qgnomeplatform-qt5-0.9.2-18.fc40.x86_64 - cannot install the best update candidate for package qgnomeplatform-common-0.9.2-18.fc40.noarch Problem 2: problem with installed package qgnomeplatform-qt5-0.9.2-18.fc40.x86_64 - package qgnomeplatform-qt5-0.9.2-18.fc40.x86_64 from @System requires qgnomeplatform-common = 0.9.2-18.fc40, but none of the providers can be installed - package qgnomeplatform-qt5-0.9.2-18.fc40.x86_64 from updates requires qgnomeplatform-common = 0.9.2-18.fc40, but none of the providers can be installed - package qt6-qtbase-common-6.8.1-11.fc40.noarch from updates obsoletes qgnomeplatform-common <= 0.9.3 provided by qgnomeplatform-common-0.9.2-18.fc40.noarch from @System - package qt6-qtbase-common-6.8.1-11.fc40.noarch from updates obsoletes qgnomeplatform-common <= 0.9.3 provided by qgnomeplatform-common-0.9.2-18.fc40.noarch from updates - cannot install the best update candidate for package qt6-qtbase-common-6.7.2-6.fc40.noarch I have tried "dnf update --allowerasing", "dnf update --obsoletes", and even "dnf autoremove", but nothing gets rid of these problems. I have made no changes to any of the config files in fedora-repos-40-2.noarch. I am very reluctant to attempt an upgrade to Fedora 41 with the system not in a cleanly updated state. What to do??This looks similar to the "Fails to install" bug which was filed today (but said to be a non-issue by the maintainer): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2341710 If the package is to be obsoleted, it seems to me that the qt5 subpackage also needs to be obsoleted. Ignoring this for the duration of F40 would seem to be inappropriate, IMO. Perhaps someone affected will care to update that ticket to note that the obsolets appear to be incomplete, at least.
