Do you want to make Fedora 42 better? Please spend 1 minute of your time and try to run:

    dnf --releasever=42 --enablerepo=updates-testing --assumeno --best distro-sync

This command does not replace `dnf system-upgrade`, but it will reveal potential problems.

You may also run `dnf upgrade` before running this command.

The `--assumeno` will just test the transaction, but does not make the actual upgrade.

In case you hit dependency issues, please report it against the appropriate package.

Or against fedora-obsolete-packages if that package should be removed in next Fedora. Please check existing reports against fedora-obsolete-packages first:

and also there is already lots of "Fails to install" (F42FailsToInstall) reports:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?bug_id=2300529&bug_id_type=anddependson&bug_status=__open__&columnlist=product%2Ccomponent%2Cassigned_to%2Cbug_status%2Cshort_desc%2Cchangeddate%2Cbug_severity&list_id=13558325&order=id%2C%20&query_format=advanced

For convenience here is the relevant part of Fedora Guidelines on renaming and replacing packages:

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#renaming-or-replacing-existing-packages

I myself discovered one issue with workrave and kf5-kitinerary and reported them.

Thank you

Miroslav
