Can't dnf upgrade to 43 because of asynch in qt6 packages

Ask Fedora
1

So, have a perfectly running and functional F42 laptop. Saw that 43 was available, so tried to start the process using dnf upgrade plugin. Ran

sudo dnf upgrade --refresh

as usual first step, but got a slew of warnings about qt6.

So, instread, tried

 sudo dnf distro-sync --refresh

but that didn’t fix anything. Still see things like:

Skipping packages with broken dependencies:

libqtxdg 4.1.0-7.fc42 (in updates)
libqtxdg 4.1.0-3.fc42 (in fedora)

and

cannot install both qt6-qtbase 6.9.3-1 from updates and qt6-base-6.8.2-3 from @system.

And so on, and so on. [I can copy past the entire list of errors if that helps].

I even tried

sudo dnf upgrade --allowerasing

as a Draconian step, but it didn’t help anything.

So, it looks like a bunch of things related to qt6 are not in synch between the main fedora repo(s), and the updates.

Suggestions? Pointers to the obvious?

Many thanks in advance…

Hi @cooch17 , welcome to the community.

Would it be possible to please post the error messages, as that’ll help us pin point what the cause is.

In case it informs, I also repeated everything after first running

sudo dnf clean all

so it wasn’t a caching issue.

This indicates that libqtdx was not rebuilt when qt6 was updated. I see that a build for this was done today and pushed to testing:

https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?packages=libqtxdg

It’ll take some time to get to you, though, so for the options are:

  1. try to remove the package, update, upgrade, and reinstall it. Hopefully, it won’t try to remove other bits.
  2. or temporarily enable the updates-testing repo to get the updated package, update, then try to upgrade
  3. or wait for it to get through testing, update, upgrade.

Option 1 should be fine if removing the package doesn’t try to pull out other bits. So worth trying.

Many thanks. I’ll wait. I’m in no huge hurry to do the upgrade to 43, which is what started me down this path.

Well, I decided ‘what the heck’, tried your suggested option #2, and all well. Everything updated (used distrosync). Subseuqnet upgrade from 42 → 43 went perfectly.

Many thanks!

I have the very same issue with updating my Fedora 42 system. Will wait for the updated package, thanks @ankursinha for the information.

Seems like a recurring issue. Even though I did manage to upgrade 42 → 43, doing a dnf upgrade this AM led to more or less the same issue: the ‘fedora’ and ‘updates’ repo are not in sync for qt6 libs.

So, my question: if updates is ‘newer’ than ‘fedora’, why doesn’t dnf simply force use of ‘updates’, sinece presumably updating to the newer version is the point of the exercise?

the same thing for me (cannot upgrade qt6-qtbase from 6.9.2 to 6.9.3)

yet not moving to 43, just updating current 42

fixed with:

sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing --refresh --advisory=FEDORA-2025-d8f15e5a72

Today I ran sudo dnf update --refresh and I didn’t get any errors. So the Qt thing seems to be fixed now.

Indeed, no fewer than 10 minutes or so before you posted, I tried the same thing, and was successful in updating my 43 upgraded machine to latest Qt6. Thanks!

I also had this issue but the libqtxdg package is now updated. Sometime patience is the best thing you can do.
