I updated F41 to F42 via the Gnome GUI. It fails with conflicts between golang packages.

Should I remove golang entirely and then retry dnf, or does Fedora need it?

Packages affected:

golang-github-cespare-xxhash-devel-2.1.2-15.fc42.noarch
golang-github-cespare-xxhash2-devel-2.3.0-2.fc42.noarch

golang-gopkg-readline-1-devel-1.4-24.20180628git2972be2.fc42.noarch
golang-github-chzyer-readline-devel-1.5.1-2.fc42.noarch

I am still learning to use Linux. How can one do this?

In my case, it was fairly simple:

sudo dnf remove golang*

After that was done, since the previous upgrade attempt had stopped in the midst,

sudo dnf clean packages
sudo dnf clean all
sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot
sudo dnf upgrade --refresh

A bit of belt-and-suspenders approach, but it worked.

Thanks!

I somehow put the solution flag on my post instead of yours. Sorry about that!

Thanks for responding. Would the same command work on Silverblue?
