Package conflicts in f39

carzacc · April 25, 2024, 6:59am

In the past few days, when I try to run dnf update --refresh on my (Ryzen 7 6800U) laptop, I get the following:

Error: Transaction test error:
  file /usr/share/alsa/cards/USB-Audio.conf from install of alsa-lib-1.2.11-2.fc39.i686 conflicts with file from package alsa-lib-1.2.10-3.fc39.x86_64

What can I do about it?

Try dnf remove of the i686 version of the conflicting packages.
It is rare to see any i686 packages installed.

Check that nothing important to you will be removed when you pull out the i686 packages.

For example, removing alsa-lib.i686 would also remove steam

(actually, same goes for the other two packages)

Error:
 Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: grub2-pc

Whereas the second one would remove, among other things, bash and git.

I took the liberty of editing your posts to convert the text to the preformatted text display.

Adding ``` to the lines preceding the posted text and following that text makes it preformatted and retains the formatting as seen on your screen. Retaining the formatting makes it much easier to read. As you posted it the text became one long continuous line of text.

The structure is

I ran that, substituting those versions with the ones I actually have installed (the ones in your comment are the ones dnf is trying to update to), but nothing changes, because DNF tries instead to install those as dependencies when I run dnf update, so it fails anyway because of that same conflict.

The weird thing to me seems to be that DNF is trying to upgrade the i686 version of those packages but not the x86_64 versions, which might be the source of the conflict.

No idea why how that would happen though, it didn’t happen on another machine with all those same packages.

carzacc · April 27, 2024, 8:13am

Right, thank you for the heads up!

carzacc · April 27, 2024, 11:36am

I’ll try to do that: I uninstalled steam, but DNF still wants to install those packages when I update. I can’t install them myself… I guess I need to figure out the other packages that depend on those that I have installed.

carzacc · April 27, 2024, 11:48am

found the old terminal logs, I guess I need to uninstall the i686 versions of all of those as well

carzacc · April 29, 2024, 7:10am

Ended up uninstalling those, upgrading and then reinstalling everything. Everything installed without issues, thanks!
