Using dnf to upgrade from Fedora 40 to 41 fails due to libtiff issue in libgdiplus0. libgdiplus0 requires libtiff.so.5, but this library is no longer available in libtiff for Fedora 41.

My current packages are

libgdiplus-devel.x86_64       6.1-7.fc40                            @fedora             
libgdiplus0.x86_64            6.0.5-0.xamarin.1.epel8       @mono-centos8-stable
libgdither.x86_64             0.6-31.fc40                              @fedora   
libtiff.x86_64                      4.6.0-5.fc40.1                        @updates

and

dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=41 --skip-broken

produces the following output:

The best I can tell, I am at the latest level of everything in f40. In f40, libtiff provides both *.5 and *.6 libraries, but under f41, it provides only *.6 libraries.

Any ideas what I’m doing wrong? Thanks!

That is not a fedora package nor a fedora repo.
Possibly remove it then try again

You have mixed centos and fedora packages this is not a good thing to do as each distribution has different packaging dependencies.

To upgrade first remove the conflicting packages from centos repos.
Did you find a package you need that fedora is not packaging?

THANK YOU!!!

I installed this in the mist of antiquity when I needed mono for something. When I ran repoquery --requires I got a scary list, but it seems to have removed cleanly and the dnf ran fine. I’ll update my system next and see what happens.

Remember to remove the centos repos from /etc/yum.repos.d.
