Failed to update qt5 packages

, ,

Hi,
I’m using Fedora 32 Kde spin. I have an issue updating my current installation.

Here is the output:

sudo dnf update

package qt5-qtwebengine-freeworld-5.13.2-3.fc32.x86_64 requires qt5-qtbase(x86-64) = 5.13.2, but none of the providers can be installed
  - cannot install both qt5-qtbase-5.14.2-5.fc32.x86_64 and qt5-qtbase-5.13.2-5.fc32.x86_64
  - cannot install both qt5-qtbase-5.13.2-4.fc32.x86_64 and qt5-qtbase-5.14.2-5.fc32.x86_64

What’s wrong?

Thanks

Hi,
the qt5-qtwebengine & qt5-qtbase packages got updated to 5.14.2 fairly recently in the main Fedora repositories, but it seems like RPMFusion (which is where qt5-qtwebengine-freeworld comes from) hasn’t updated from 5.13.2 yet - that’s why it is looking for the older version of qt5-* packages. You’ll have to

  • wait for RPMFusion to get the update as well, or
  • uninstall qt5-webengine-freeworld if you can live without it or
  • add the packages causing the problem to excludepkgs='' in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf to prevent them from being updated, for now.

or simply:
sudo dnf update --exclude=qt5-qtwebengine-freeworld --skip-broken

This is the suggested solution.

RPMFusion has to wait for packages to go “stable” in the Fedora updates repositories before they can kick off their corresponding builds. This applies for kmods and all the -freeworld packages pretty much. There will always be a bit of a lag. So, just keep working and when RPMFusion pushes updates, your updates will proceed. Really nothing that needs to be done here.

Thank you. Solved after latest update.
