Having problem with updating Fedora Rawhide

Hi,

I am facing some problems with updating my system because of something that might have to do with conflicting packages/libraries or that is what it seems to me.

Here below is the output I get when I run sudo dnf update:

Please let me know if I need to post anything else.

Have you tried any options with dnf in relation to those errors?
Have you tried again to do the update?

Note that with a version that is in rapid flux like rawhide, and with more than one repo involved, it is not uncommon for the various repos involved to be out of sync with packages. If you were running F38 it would be common for those errors to pop up today and be fixed tomorrow. How quickly the issues get fixed with rawhide is a guess.

However it appears at least part of the issue is with repos being out of sync for certain packages. In problem 6 you note that ffmpeg-libs (rpmfusion) wants libjxl.so.0.7 and at the same time jxl-pixbuff-loader (rawhide) wants libjxl.so.0.8 so there is a conflict.
- cannot install both libjxl-1:0.7.0-6.fc38.x86_64 and libjxl-1:0.8.1-2.fc39.x86_64

I would guess that removing ffmpeg-libs and libavcodec-freeworld would fix all those errors.

I just did a new clean install of rawhide on a VM and then added the rpmfusion repos.
This is my repolist

rpmfusion-nonfree-steam                         RPM Fusion for Fedora rawhide - Nonfree - Steam

I enabled the 3rd party repos which accounts for google-chrome, rpmfusion-nonfree-nvidia-driver, and rpmfusion-nonfree-steam.

I note that you have the following repos enabled,

fedora
updates

which are not part of the rawhide repos.
What happens if you use the options --disablerepo=fedora,updates with your dnf command? Those repos may easily conflict with the rawhide repo.

Note also that rawhide has just recently switched from using dnf to the new & improved dnf5 which may also introduce some bugs for a short time.

Hi @computersavvy and thanks for your reply!

No, I didn’t. I just tried sudo dnf update and also having noticed the switch to dnf5 in a previous update, I tried sudo dnf5 update

Right after I posted about the issue, I did a search on the forum to see if I would find posts about similar issue. I found adding --allowerasing --bestcould possibly solve this issue so I went ahead and did sudo dnf5 update --allowerasing --best

Not sure now that if it was the right thing to do but it did resolve the issue and the update went well.

This system was converted from F37 to Rawhide. Some time ago I posted about if my repos were correctly configured. For reference: Are my repos correctly configured?

Do you think I should disable these two repos: fedora an updates?

You may want to read

Rawhide is the development version and it is expected to break from time to time.

If you want a more stable experience, I’d recommend the latest fedora release (currently F38)

You also may want to note this comment which affects rawhide due to the change from dnf to dnf5

Hi @augenauf
Thanks for pointing out the documentation.

I converted this system from F37 to Rawhide. Coming from Archlinux, I am used to a fast update pace but Rawhide seems to be ahead of Arch when it comes to updates. Or perhaps you cannot compare the two.

Arch’s packages get into the stable repos after passing through the testing repo where some intial tests have been done. But Rawhide being a development version, how much testing is done on the packages before they are released?

Also, this system is meant to be a testing system and for learning how Fedora works. I admit that I need to consult the documentation more to get acquaited with the fedora way of system maintenance.

Since @computersavvy mentioned that the two repositories: fedora and update are not part of a fresh installation of Rawhide, I wonder if I should be disabling them.

Thanks @jakfrost, I appreciate the input!

None.

You could also run F38 with updates-testing repository enabled.

Right, kind of suspected that :slightly_smiling_face:

That sounds great!

So if I choose to run F38 with update-testing enabled, should I reconfigure my repos and downgrade all the packages? Would you mind pointing me to the documentation where I could read what to do?

Or is it better to go for fresh install?

Downgrading from rawhide to f38 is not supported. I would backup anything important and do a clean install of F38.

Alright.

I think I would keep Rawhide for now and if it becomes unmanageable for me I would certainly take your advice and do a clean install of F38.

Thank you all for your support!
