Package blocks upgrade to F44

$ sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=44

Problem: installed package pokerth-1.1.2-32.fc43.x86_64 requires libboost_filesystem.so.1.83.0()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed
  - boost-filesystem-1.83.0-17.fc43.x86_64 does not belong to a distupgrade repository
  - problem with installed package

Is this an issue with pokerth or boost-filesystem ? Either way, this is blocking the upgrade to F44.

It’s an issue with pokerth, which hasn’t been rebuilt for Fedora 44.

Because it’s Maintainer: orphan

You will need to remove pokerth package then the upgrade should work.

So the Fedora pokerth package is also outdated. It is v1.1.2 from 2018 even though that was the latest version until 2026, when v2 was released. Latest as of this week is v2.0.8.

No idea if a maintainer will pick it up, but on github and their website PokerTH - Download there are download links for linux binary releases as well as AppImages. Seems that’s the way things are going now.

I quickly tested the v2.0.8-2 linux binary, and it works and also maintains previous settings (in ~/.pokerth). So using the binary and uninstalling the fedora package would be a solution.

There’s also a Flatpak version on Flathub. So a few different options!
