I am trying to upgrade to F23 (I know still not finished but...) In past I always done 'distro-sync'. Albeit with yum. Now I tried: dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=23 --distro-sync dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=23 --distro-sync --best dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=23 --distro-sync --best --allowerasing And all of them fail. See below for full log. On the other hand: dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=23 succeed. Actually most of the problem are caused by retired or obsoleted packages. E.g fedup-dracut or rubygem-celluloid (this one reported as BZ 1275030). My question is should we use --distro-sync at all? Are users supposed to remove obsoleted packages manually? If I do not pass --distro-sync then some packages are not upgraded. E.g in my case after upgrade I have grub2-tools-2.02-0.16.fc22.x86_64. Full log of failures. # dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=23 --distro-sync --best cannot install both kernel-devel-4.2.3-300.fc23.x86_64 and kernel-devel-3.19.4-200.fc21.x86_64. package rubygem-celluloid-0.15.2-2.fc22.noarch requires rubygem(timers) < 1.2, but none of the providers can be installed. package rubygem-celluloid-0.15.2-2.fc22.noarch requires rubygem(timers) < 1.2, but none of the providers can be installed. package fedup-dracut-0.9.2-1.fc22.x86_64 requires librpm.so.3()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed. package rpm-libs-4.12.0.1-12.fc22.x86_64 requires rpm = 4.12.0.1-12.fc22, but none of the providers can be installed (try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages) # dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=23 --distro-sync Error: package rubygem-celluloid-0.15.2-2.fc22.noarch requires rubygem(timers) < 1.2, but none of the providers can be installed. package grub2-tools-1:2.02-0.23.fc23.x86_64 requires librpm.so.7()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed (try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages) # dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=23 --distro-sync --best --allowerasing Error: package rubygem-celluloid-0.15.2-2.fc22.noarch requires rubygem(timers) < 1.2, but none of the providers can be installed. package fedup-dracut-0.9.2-1.fc22.x86_64 requires librpm.so.3()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed -- Miroslav Suchy, RHCA Red Hat, Senior Software Engineer, #brno, #devexp, #fedora-buildsys -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
