Hi Everyone.

I’ve recently moved from Windows 11 to Fedora 42.
I’m still learning the OS so bear with my ignorance.

I was busy keeping my packages up-to-date using the built in GUI package manager but the last update doesn’t want to apply using the GUI. The error is the same in the GUI as shown below:

sudo dnf update --refresh

file /usr/share/gir-1.0/Tracker-3.0.gir from install of libtinysparql-3.9.2-1.fc42.i686 conflicts with file from package libtinysparql-3.9.1-2.fc42.x86_64

This is the first time I’ve seen this. I’m not sure what to do.
I was thinking about removing the libtiny packages using root but I don’t want to brake the OS as I’m unfortunately curious about Fedora and willing to try most things in terminal.

I have broken Fedora 41 whilst I was trying to understand it. This time, I’ve decided let me ask and hopefully there are better ways to understand the OS as I do very well with Windows.

If I’ve left anything out, which I doubt, apologies.

Thanks in advance.

Try this way:

sudo rpm -e --nodeps libtinysparql.i686

Welcome to the forums Brent,

We are very glad you moved to Fedora, and mind not your self titled ‘ignorance’. A broken Linux system is a good sign of developing as a person

When you post long screen-dumps, you can use the ‘preformatted text’ button in the editing window </> to make

it look pretty and not take up so much space.

Sorry about that, new to this forum. will do. And thanks for the warm welcome!

Thanks so much, this worked. I’m trying to understand this command. The URL with the ‘refresh’ unfortunately didn’t work. Same result, but your command worked. Looking at the command and judging by what I’ve seen, it appears to be some type of exclusion. I’ll do some research. Thanks again, Vladislav.
