I pulled the latest image of Fedora from Docker using fedora:latest. Then I installed curl, dnf-utils & libxcrypt-compat using the command “yum update -y && yum install -y curl info && dnf install -y --skip-broken dnf-utils libxcrypt-compat”. After that, I created a new repository config file with the following contents:

[rawhide]
name=Fedora - Rawhide - Developmental packages for the next Fedora release
#baseurl=http://download.example/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide//Everything/$basearch/os/
metalink=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=rawhide&arch=$basearch
enabled=1
countme=1
metadata_expire=6h
repo_gpgcheck=0
type=rpm
gpgcheck=0
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$basearch
skip_if_unavailable=False

Then I tried to update dnf using “yum update -y dnf” but I got the following error:

Error: Transaction test error: file /etc/dnf/dnf.conf from install of libdnf5-5.0.14-1.fc39.x86_64 conflicts with file from package dnf-data-4.16.1-1.fc38.noarch.

This error started occurring yesterday. Can someone please help me with this issue?

The issue you are experiencing is likely this one noted here with the work around.

Yeah, thats the issue, but…whats your goal here?

Why not simply pull fedora:rawhide image if you need that?

Note, if you want an up to date image, it is better to pull from quay.io than from Docker Hub:

FROM quay.io/fedora/fedora:rawhide

as the images are updated more frequently there.
