I’m trying to upgrade from F40 to F41. I’ve updated F40 and rebooted. I run the usual upgrade command:
~$ sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=41
[sudo] password for msl:
Before you continue ensure that your system is fully upgraded by running "dnf --refresh upgrade". Do you want to continue [y/N]: y

Problem: package qt-virt-manager-0.72.99-8.fc40.x86_64 from @System requires libqtermwidget5.so.1()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed
- qtermwidget-1.4.0-3.fc40.x86_64 from @System does not belong to a distupgrade repository
- problem with installed package qt-virt-manager-0.72.99-8.fc40.x86_64

I don’t want to uninstall qt-virt-manager because that would remove packages that I want to keep – I make heavy use of virtual machines:
~$ sudo dnf remove qt-virt-manager

I could use --skip-broken as the upgrade command suggests, but I don’t want to end up with an upgraded system that can’t launch VMs.
If there’s a gtk version of the virt-manager then I’ll happily use that instead, but I can’t see one:
~$ sudo dnf search -C virt-manager

Is there a way past this problem? If I just wait a few days, will the broken dependency resolve itself at Fedora’s end?
