Fedora 37 update from F34 fails. Unable to connect to Mirrors and upgrade repositories

I do not understand why I cant upgrade by Upgrading Fedora using the DNF system upgrade

sudo dnf upgrade --refresh

sudo dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade

sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=37

When I follow the Docs https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/dnf-system-upgrade/.I receive this failure to update message:

This just works with Fedora versions not EOL. F34 is EOL. Any extra repository for F34 is probably not available anymore.

You probably just have to remove gh-cli as a repository and check after upgrade if it is still available to add so that you can install from it.

Edit:
I added some words to clarify that I speak from repositories and specially of thous from copr etc.
@augenauf I hope it is clearer now.

It is always recommended (and supported) to only upgrade 1 or 2 levels at a time. It may work to upgrade 3 levels at once but that is not supported nor recommended by fedora.

I would first (temporarily) disable any 3rd party repos in use, then do the OS upgrade. After the upgrade is completed and successful then you could enable the 3rd party repos needed and upgrade their software as well.

Since the error is github related and GH is 3rd party that seems likely to fix that error.

I found a application called Package http://ww38.packagekit.org/. Very usefull as it is GUI and where it is possible to remove package by name like GH.

Thank you very much r@h.c (email removed_signed @augenauf)

Only drawback to that is you are on 34 and wanting to upgrade to 37 so installing another 3rd party package may cause more problems. Dnf is easy to work with even enabling or disabling repos so I follow the KISS principle. Keep It Simple…

KISS! LOL! I need it to be simple or I will mess everything up

How about posting the output of dnf repolist so we can see what 3rd party repos may be enabled to simplify things.

With that list I would suggest that you use the --disablerepo option for each of the copr and the gh-cli repos with your sudo dnf upgrade --refresh and with the sudo dnf system-upgrade download commands to disable those repos and avoid interfering with the OS upgrade.

Alternatively you could use dnf config-manager --disable copr:* gh-cli which would disable those repos, then do the system-upgrade all the way through. If you do it this way they can be re-enabled by replacing --disable in that command line with --enable

The first way only disables the repo for the one command where that disablerepo option is used. The second way (semi)permanently disables the repo until it is re-enabled. I personally prefer the second method when using several commands in a row that need the repo disabled, but it is up to you.

Where should I type in the --disablerepo ? Should it be addressed with a repo-name like a package ?

–disable copr:* gh-cli

This works with EOL versions, and it should still work with F34, see https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-34&arch=x86_64

Only later, once the repo has been moved to “Archive”, the upgrade is only possible after adjusting the URL in the repo files manually.

This is a repo, not a package.

As previously noted, upgrades are always recommended to be done one release version at a time, and only supported for 2 versions.

Have you tried sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=35?
Have you tried sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=35 --disablerepo=gh-cli as suggested?
Have you looked at man dnf system-upgrade for assistance in how it functions and how to format your commands?
Have you considered that it may be necessary to remove the conflicting packages before the upgrade can be properly completed?

Work down that list, one package at a time, removing the conflicted packages that are not part of fedora until the conflicts are cleaned up.
These 2 in particular are clearly telling you the problem
compat-golang-github-docker-distribution-devel-2.8.0~beta and
golang-github-distribution-3-devel-2.8.0~beta.
Both of which were installed from github.
The remainder seem related to protonvpn packages their need for python 3.9 on fedora 34 with python 3.11 on fedora 37. Removing the protonvpn packages will probably clear all that up.

Always use the recommended sudo dnf upgrade --refresh step first to verify that fedora is up to date, and maybe add sudo dnf distro-sync --refresh --allowerasing to clean up other packages before even starting the system-upgrade.

There are many cases where version upgrades are not possible with 3rd party software installed and some of those can be seen with a quick search on this forum. It is up to the user to read the error messages and learn what the corrective actions are with experience and over time.

Yes, might be also a good idea to check own old topics like this:
