Failed to update due to perf_dlfilter.h

Our Neighbors Asahi Linux Ask Asahi

Hi, perhaps a dumb question, but I get a failure to update due to a conflict with newer kernel headers and the existing perf package.

  - file /usr/include/perf/perf_dlfilter.h from install of perf-6.17.8-200.fc42.aarch64 conflicts with file from package kernel-headers-6.16.8-400.asahi.fc42.aarch64

I wasn’t sure if this was something I can just wait out, or if I should resolve this directly, but I’m unsure if Asahi needs this specific perf version, as I didn’t install it manually.

Thanks!

I also ran into that, thought it was because I hadn’t actually rebooted into asahi for a while. Temporarily uninstalling perf, updating, and reinstalling perf did work for me.

thank you! glad to know removing perf wouldn’t break anything, the description of “performance monitoring for the linux kernel” seemed ominous enough to justify asking. thanks!!
