Ok, there is a problem with FlightGear. Suggestion: Remove it, then upgrade, then install it again.
(Don’t worry, your user data will be preserved).

Also, don’t run sudo dnf clean packages from the cache or dnf has to re-download everything all over again.

PS: I wonder if FlightGear is affected by Popular third-party RPMs fail to install/update/remove due to security policies verification …?

I don’t need or use “Flight gear”, so how is the BEST way to remove it completely and “Cleanly”?

Ok, FlightGear is removed.
What would / should be the next Step, before we lose communication if it starts the reboot?

12

Tried the and got the following: (again(

sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot
[sudo] password for frank:
Error: system is not ready for upgrade

13

Did the flightgear removal command also remove FlightGear-data? If not remove it as well. Then, because you cleaned the f38 packages (removed them):

sudo dnf -v system-upgrade download --releasever=38
14

I entered the command, hit y… continue and got this, after it downloaded the packages:

Install 47 Packages
Upgrade 2644 Packages
Remove 7 Packages
Downgrade 17 Packages

Total size: 4.0 G
DNF will only download packages, install gpg keys, and check the transaction.
Is this ok [y/N]:

Should I try the “y” command now?

15

Yes, that’s what you want.

So it looks like it wants to start the upgrade now, I just should enter ; dnf system-upgrade reboot’,

if I am seeing things correctly.

At this point you could use

[quote=“Flo, post:18, topic:81110, username:augenauf”]
sudo dnf -v system-upgrade download --releasever=38
[/quote] and add “–allow-erasing” at the end.

Hi Flo, ran the reboot command and it installed and started up as it should have.
Thanks again very much for your support and patience.
Was a learning experience for me. Every thing (web sites and links etc.) is functioning correctly as it was on F37.

Take good care and hopefully you are enjoying your work.

Sincerely,

Frank / Magic

Hi Stephen, thanks for your feed back. Everything is running okay at this time.

I will slowly deal with the “things to do after installing” etc.
I am happy that it is installed and function okay for now.

Great team @ Fedora…Keep up the good work!

Best regards,

Magic
