Issue with pdfbox-tools after upgrading f39 to f40

Hi,

just upgraded my f39 to f40 and everything went fine as always, except for one package pdfbox-tools-2.0.29-2.fc39:

sudo dnf install pdfbox-tools-2.0.29-2.fc39.noarch 
[...]                                                                                     10 kB/s | 3.5 kB     00:00    
Error: 
 Problem: contradictory requirements
  - nothing provides mvn(org.bouncycastle:bcpkix-jdk15on) needed by pdfbox-tools-2.0.29-2.fc39.noarch from fedora
  - nothing provides mvn(org.bouncycastle:bcprov-jdk15on) needed by pdfbox-tools-2.0.29-2.fc39.noarch from fedora
  - nothing provides mvn(org.bouncycastle:bcmail-jdk15on) needed by pdfbox-tools-2.0.29-2.fc39.noarch from fedora
(Try adding '--skip-broken' to the command line to skip uninstallable packages)

I had to remove the package to successfully upgrade and wanted to reinstall it after the upgrade was done, but as you can see, it didn’t work for me. The above output has been taken from that action to try to reinstall after upgrade.

I did not find a more recent package. Do you think it’s only a matter of time to get a newer version of the pdfbox-tools? I have a piece of software which has a feature that depends on the package, but it isn’t vital to me.

Thnak you in advance for your helpful hints.

It seems like there is a new build (2.0.30-1.fc40) in the testing repository, see pdfbox-tools - Fedora Packages

sudo dnf install pdfbox-tools --enablerepo=updates-testing

I confirm: same error message on my system. That could confirm that there currently is an issue with the package. It could be a matter of time before it gets repaired. It will be best if someone could file this as an issue.

No need to file an issue, the maintainer is aware of the situation (see 2270634 – F40FailsToInstall: preflight, pdfbox-debugger, pdfbox-tools).

I think it would be beneficial to install the package from testing and provide feedback before the package gets pushed to stable, see FEDORA-2024-14314420fb — bugfix update for pdfbox — Fedora Updates System

Glad to hear it works. If you have 2 minutes, feel free to leave feedback on the package in testing.

This is important for the maintainer and the overall quality of packages in the stable repo.

Thanks.
