(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

Adding --skip-broken does not improve matters.

Its trying to use librpmio.so.9 and librpmio.so.10 that is not going to work.

What can I try to make the upgrade happy?

You still have unsolved updates. Before doing system-upgrade try to fix this.
As an example, iwl6000-firmware not exist as it was in F36.

Also take care of that grub2-efi-ia32-1:2.06-42.fc36.x86_64 before upgrading. There we also had a change.

Aha! Thanks for the clues!

I had added an exclude=gbub2-efi* in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
I vaguely recall that a grub2 issue a long time ago that this was a fix for.
Having removed that exclude the grub2-wfi code updated and system-upgrade is happy to download.

Where is the iwl6000-firmware suggestion coming from?
Is that for WiFi? If so I do not use Wifi on this system.

Just keep in mind that if you use Bluetooth that you might need a working driver when your wifi chip is sharing hardware.
Yes IWL are the intel drivers for wireless devices.

Search, and you shall find: run dnf -C provides iwl6000-firmware

iwlwifi-dvm-firmware-20230919-1.fc39.noarch : DVM Firmware for Intel(R) Wireless WiFi adapters
Repo        : fedora
Matched from:
Provide    : iwl6000-firmware = 20230919-1.fc39

I was wonder what the debug thinking was that lead to suggesting iwl6000-firmware.
Knowing which RPM it comes from was not my question.

Anyway the solution was nothing to do firmware as its was me doing the exclude=grub2-efi-*.

As mentioned above, this groups not exist anymore. Now it just exists 3 Packages like:

iwlegacy-firmware.noarch                  20231030-1.fc39                @System
iwlwifi-dvm-firmware.noarch               20231030-1.fc39                @System
iwlwifi-mvm-firmware.noarch               20231030-1.fc39                @System

I think the kernel is selecting the correct driver if the hardware is detected correctly.

sudo dnf info iwlwifi-dvm-firmware

Description  : This package contains the firmware required by the iwlwifi driver
             : for Linux built with DVM firmware support (CONFIG_IWLDVM=y/m)

With inxi -Fzxx you could have a look if your hardware shares WiFi with Bluetooth.

Aha! Now I understand why you think it may be an issue.

FYI I elided about 30 lines of “No group…” messages in the dnf output abd took them all for noise.
