I am trying to install the Crystal language on my Fedora 40 set up.
https://crystal-lang.org/install/index.html

When I try to install, I get this:

sudo dnf install crystal
[sudo] password for heinrich:

Error:
 Problem: package crystal-1.13.0-1.1.x86_64 from devel_languages_crystal requires crystal1.13, but none of the providers can be installed
  - package crystal-1.13.0-1.1.x86_64 from devel_languages_crystal obsoletes crystal1.13 provided by crystal1.13-1.13.1-1.1.x86_64 from devel_languages_crystal
  - conflicting requests
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

Any suggestions on how I can install Crystal?

Added crystal, devel, f40, package-maintainers

It looks like a packaging problem with the Crystal repo itself. Have you tried the Docker method mentioned on the installation page? You can use Podman instead of Docker in Fedora.

Let the crystal maintainers know there is a problem.

I raised the issue on GitHib with the Crystal Maintainers. The issue was on their side. The issue has been fixed.

sudo dnf install crystal
