You are experiencing the hiccups that rawhide experiences when major changes are introduced. If you wait for a period of time, the packagers will probably resolve most of these, so it will be easier to put your system back in a coherent state. Not always feasible, so ... I am not familiar with dnf5, so I don't know if any of the below is applicable, because I have seen comments suggesting that the options available are not the same as for dnf 3/4. First, try just restarting dnf as usual, using -x to exclude the problematic package on the command line. It used to pick up where it left off in that case. dnf -x [problem package, possibly with \* for glob] update You might have to add -x for subsequent problem packages until update completes. An alternative is --skip-broken, but it isn't exactly the same, so I prefer the -x technique because it removes the package from consideration before the calculation of whether it is broken or not. Then I would run a dnf --distro-sync to ensure that everything is at the latest available version and remove all the older versions. The first command should leave the system in a state that this is redundant, if it succeeds, but belt and suspenders. If the rpm database needs fixing, rpm --rebuilddb to put it back in sync with what is installed. _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
