Rawhide - Daily Use

Project Discussion
21

I have been running Rawhide (not the first time!) for a few months and finally ran into a dnf update error I have no way of resolving. The error involves updating fontconfig to release 34 - otherwise, I can update by excluding fontconfig. Following is the details.

Error: Transaction test error:
file /usr/share/doc/fontconfig/fontconfig-user.txt conflicts between attempted installs of fontconfig-2.13.93-1.fc34.i686 and fontconfig-2.13.93-1.fc34.x86_64

rpm -qa | grep fontconfig
fontconfig-2.13.92-12.fc33.x86_64
fontconfig-2.13.92-12.fc33.i686

Ideas? Iā€™m just guessing the text file for the 686 and x64 rpms is not identical. This ā€œcouldā€ explain why renaming the existing txt file does nothing.

TIA

Rawhide not for everyone but if you into KDE development that quite advantage because you get latest KDE and QT installed so build time will be much faster.
