Hey folks, having an issue after doing an upgrade to F43. The upgrade itself went fine but a few packages are complaining and I can’t seem to get them to resolve. I saw a few posts on here but wasn’t sure if they directly relate to my situation since they were slightly different.
Computer Specs:
HP Zbook Power 16 G11 A
64 GB RAM DDR5
2TB M.2
1TB M.2
Fedora 43 KDE
lsb_release -a LSB Version: n/a Distributor ID: Fedora Description: Fedora Linux 43 (KDE Plasma Desktop Edition) Release: 43 Codename: n/a
Long story short, on F43 at the moment and cannot get the following packages to upgrade due to conflicts:
sudo dnf upgrade Updating and loading repositories: Repositories loaded.

(One of) the problem(s) causing your current issue is that many packages need Qt to be upgraded to 6.10, but the current version of gstreamer1-plugins-good-qt6 in F43 says that it requires specifically Qt 6.9.
I had exactly the same problem today on fedora 43.
So I removed the package gstreamer1-plugins-good-qt6 and then ran dnf update again. The updates installed successfully. But after a reboot and running the Plasma 6.5 I saw that Fedora theme is considered night mode (according to the wallpaper) despite I have not enabled auto switching to dark mode option.
I tried to install gstreamer1-plugins-good-qt6-1.26.7-2.fc43 again but there was a version conflict between this package and knighttime.

Apart from the discussion about this package do you have any opinion about the reason for this problem?
Ah right, it seems that the fix isn’t in the testing repos yet.
It might be possible to fix by downloading and installing RPMs from Koji (we’re trying that on this thread. Or you could wait for the fix to make its way into the repos so it can be installed normally with dnf.
About the day/night mode? I don’t have a good idea on this, sorry.
It seems to me that the conflict may be with the gstreamer1-plugins-good-qt6 package.
If I have the updates-archive repo enabled and also enable the updates-testing repo the upgrade of qt with sudo dnf upgrade qt\* will perform properly.
If I disable the updates-archive repo and enable the updates-testing repo it does not.
$ sudo dnf upgrade qt* --enablerepo updates-testing --disablerepo updates-archive

Is this ok [y/N]:
It seems that some of the newer packages are dependent upon older packages that have already been replaced: Specifically those that are being pulled from the updates-archive repo. gstreamer1-plugins-good-qt6 and qt6-qtbase-gui are the ones that appear to conflict with qt6-qtbase-gui depending upon the older version of gstreamer1-plugins-good-qt6.
This seems a workaround that may work for everyone.
I think here would be the solution to deactivate the update repo. If you use update-testing in general, you have a miss match of versions. To avoid you have to disable one.
Beside this in the errors more above you also have an architecture issue i686 & x86_64 do not like each other
Maybe I am using a mirror that has not yet been updated, but I see this still while using dnf upgrade --refresh --enablerepo updates-archive (and dnf upgrade --refresh still fails).
Not exactly. Fedora x86_64 intentionally contains some i686 (32-bit) packages that are parallel-installable with their x86_64 versions. One major use case for this is making it possible to run 32-bit Windows apps in wine (and especially 32-bit Windows games under Proton).
But after a restart the default Fedora 43 wallpaper and the other wallpapers are displayed in night mode while my global theme is Fedora and all background of other applications is bright.
