Cant update rpm fusion mesa drivers because of not-up-to-date mesa-filesystem version

[ruboka (m g)]

Update 1st March 2025: the new mesa filesytem version was pushed.

---

Hey,

I have the problem that my mesa-va-drivers and vdpau-drivers from rpmfusiuon can’t be updated because nothing provides the required mesa-filesystem version.
Now I see that on fedora testing the required version(in this case 25.0.0 is already implemented.

• Does RPM Fusion not has a way to include this dependency by themselves?

I read that in the beginning rpm fusion was behind the upstream fedora repo but now it seems the other way around.

• So my guess is that my only option is to wait for the testing branch to be merged?

It’s a recurrent problem:

Fedora 39 dnf upgrade problem with mesa-freeworld installed

No, people are not still waiting, they’re waiting again, because there has been a new mesa update recently. This situation will repeat with each mesa update. For the purpose of a system upgrade, just remove mesa-*-freeworld and install it back again when rpmfusion is synced. For just a regular update, the broken packages should be skipped, no harm done. If you don’t like this approach, don’t install mesa-*-freeworld, or contact rpmfusion folks and help them find a better solution

the issue still persists, should I now just run dnf update and let it skip packages with broken dependencies and with conflicts:

Or should I rather use --skip-broken until the issue is fixed on rpmfusions side?
How long does it usually take for rpmfusion to catch up?

Thx

As long as the conflicts are just due to the repos being “out of sync”, yes, the best thing to do is to let DNF skip them and update the rest of the system.

That said, there are other ways that such conflicts can arise which might require you to do something on your end. Do you have any exclude=... or excludepkgs=... lines in any of DNF’s config files?

I don’t know how long it usually takes for the conflicts to be resolved. Having both the i686 and x86_64 packages might increase the time. If you don’t need them, I’d recommend removing the i686 packages.

@glb

If you don’t need them, I’d recommend removing the i686 packages.

Apparently not happening:

@glb

Do you have any exclude=... or excludepkgs=... lines in any of DNF’s config files?

no, nothing like that.

seems to have done it, I have dnf just let ignore the broken packages and everything else went through. thanks!
