Errors on mesa and qemu packages when doing a dnf upgrade

Ask Fedora

Last night my system wouldn’t properly go to suspend mode, so first thing in the morning I decided to try a dnf upgrade to see if there was some update I was missing that could fix the issue.

Not sure if any packages related to the suspend issue were upgraded, but I did see several mesa packages that wouldn’t upgrade and an error on a qemu package. Need some advice on how to resolve these errors.

The mesa errors are because Fedora updated its mesa package, but rpmfusion has not yet updated their mesa package to match. All you have to do is wait and eventually the rpmfusion version will catch up. I don’t see the qemu error you are talking about. What is it exactly?

Sorry about that. I didn’t realize the error was in the next dnf update attempt.

  • cannot install the best update candidate for package qemu-ui-opengl-2:7.2.4-2.fc38.x86_64

You may not be aware that pastebin is a short time posting location and the documents posted there disappear after a very short time ( I think only 24 hours).

It is usually much better to actually paste the content into your post here with copy&paste combined with the preformatted text tags available with the </> button on the tool bar so the information remains for future reference and is also searchable should someone else be looking for the same type info.

Ditto on the advice about pastebin.

Does running “sudo dnf upgrade qemu-ui-opengl” work? It looks like it was caught up in the mesa snafu. Trying to upgrade it in isolation might work.

I just did a full dnf upgrade and all the qemu and mesa packages updated properly. It might have been bad timing where the mirrors in use had not gotten fully in sync with the main repo.

Couldn’t upgrade that one, but doing a sudo dnf install mesa-libglapi-23.1.6-1.fc38.x86_64 resolved a bunch of the errors. Only a couple left.
