Issue upgrading wine to F43 [F42 KDE Plasma Desktop]

Hi everyone,

I want to upgrade my F42 KDE to F43 version, but there seems to be a conflict in wine somewhere. Since I use wine for some apps (lutris, steam etc.) I’m hesitant about just wiping it as I’m not sure how this will break my dependencies (winetricks and protontricks are kind of worrysome to me). Here is the output I get after trying to update through Discover:

Internal error:<br/><br/>Error running transaction: file /usr/lib64/wine/i386-windows from install of wine-core-10.15-1.fc43.x86_64 conflicts with file from package wine-core-10.15-1.fc42.x86_64

Any ideas how to update the system without breaking all the dependencies? Would appreciate the help. A word of warning: I’m not a complete noob, but not a pro with this system either. Been using it for a year but still not as solid on the mechanics as I’d like.

Thanks in advance

Hi and welcome to :fedora:

Can you take a look at, Systems with wine installed cannot be upgraded to Fedora 43 to see if this is the issue.

Thanks

The only thing I needed to do was remove wine-core.i686 then the upgrade worked. Reinstall that package afterward if you choose.

thank you for this! I guess I will wait until the packaging problems are resolved. Guess we can close this issue.

They are not going to resolve it and force people to always delete WINE.

That is an extremely negative attitude and is insulting to the fedora team and especially the wine developers. All try to make the best system they can and to make things work for everyone.
See the bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2401666 and look at how many are involved.

I do agree it’s not helpful but I do understand the frustration, being almost two months since the issue was raised and multiple weeks since a fair number of us ran afoul of it but no progress is visible (very careful wording there), it’s not exactly encouraging.
