I think if you jump more than 2 versions at a time the packages obsoleted by fedora-obsolete-packages might not be picked up properly because it only holds packages for about 2 versions before they are removed from it. So jumping from F26 to F33 directly might miss the obsoletes from F27-F31ish.

Nice. I did an update from F26-F33 last year doing one version at time instead of jumping more than one version... and had no major issues. I wonder how far back its possible to start from and walk through the version updates._______________________________________________On Mon, Oct 11, 2021 at 3:55 AM Jiri Vanek <jvanek@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hello good people!
I would like to thanx to everybody for amazing work in fedora, for keeping it alive, and updatable.
In friday I had found an old laptop running f22 and decided to try a leap update to f34. It was not just default inntall, there was vlc and much more "unknown" comonents.
Well, transaction failed on python stack, but no surprise here (f31 ahd python2->python3?).
So random bisetct, leap update to f27. Needed --nogpgcheck[1]. Wou. Transaction passed. Update passed, and system started and was alive. Although the system was behaving terribly (there were experiemtnal patches in graphic drivers and also
gnomeshell was weird, not speaking about wayalnd), it was stable enough to make another huge leap. F27->f31 faile dagain on pythn stack, but only because of four packages.
f27->f30 passed again. UNluckily --nogpg check was no longer transferable from download to reboot+update. But gpgcheck=1 in active repos fixed it.[1] in and in the morning a running shining smooth quick and super stbale system was there.
f30-> f34 died again on python stack.. (yah, dnf and freinds should stop using that or keep embedded interpreter....)
f30->31 passed again to even more shining and more working system.
f31->f33 (yup, that was typo, but found it to late in trasnaction) passed again withot issues.
Thanx a lot! II was never expecting such leaps would work so smoothly!

[1] https was a culprint herem causing the keys impossible to downlaod. in f31, gpgcheck could be enabled again.
