Recent updates on f27 are blocked because openssl-devel (1.1) conflicts
with compat-openssl10-devel (1.0). A large number of packages depends on
1.0, so the only way to upgrade is to --allowerasing, which deletes
openssl 1.1 devel packages (
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1625440 ). Those packages
used to coexist peacefully up until recently.
I understand that we want to move to openssl 1.1 but the current reality
is that it's pushed off the system. Maybe it's not a big deal because
apparently it can be uninstalled with no ill effects.
I don't know if it's a real conflict or a packaging artifact that could
be reverted. The current situation where the upgrade is blocked unless
we --allowerasing is not very good: using it blindly is a bad idea that
can result in unusable systems (e.g.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1601724 ).
Actually, the issue of 1.0 vs. 1.1 dependency is a little confusing
because, even though the update erased openssl-devel without errors,
dnf repoquery --whatrequires openssl-devel | wc
returns 1040, when a similar count for compat-openssl10-devel comes out
at 265. I think that's because many packages (e.g. libssh2-devel) have
dependencies that are satisfied by either openssl-devel or
compat-openssl10-devel.
FWIW, a lot of packages need to be converted to 1.1; repoquery shows 196
packages requiring openssl (v1.1), while 322 require compat-openssl10
(v1.0).
