Hello,

I am having an error when trying to upgrade from f42 to f43. This is my error when using the software center.

Error running transaction: file /usr/libexec/podman/aardvark-dns from install of aardvark-dns-2:1.17.0-1.fc43.x86_64 conflicts with file from package aardvark-dns-2:1.17.0-1.fc42.x86_64

So next I attempted to resolve the package conflict by removing the offending package by issuing a sudo dnf rm aardvark-dns command in the terminal and here is what I get.

Any ideas?

None of the packages listed above are critical.
You can proceed with removal and reinstall it after upgrading.

Thank you for the assistance. Wine was removed successfully but I am still having issue with aardvark-dns where Package was not found in rpm database

Switch to permissive SELinux mode and rebuild the database:

sudo setenforce 0
sudo rpm --rebuilddb

If the issue persists, try this way:

sudo rpm -e --nodeps aardvark-dns-2:1.17.0-1.fc42.x86_64

Ok cool, I am on f43 now! But.. should I be concerned about this?

I ran the sudo rpm --rebuilddb command and it had some output along the lines of:


something about aardvark-dns
[HASH] != [HASH]
[HASH] != [HASH]

I am sorry I did not copy the output from the terminal at the time. I closed the terminal by habit and was unable to retrieve it again when I ran that command a 2nd time. [HASH] is just a placeholder for the actual hash key I saw but I don’t remember what it was. Is there a way I can see the output of previous bash commands? I will try and find the actual output it gave to me. Also do I need to reinstall aardvark-dns now that I am on f43?

Thank you so much for the assistance by the way Vladislav Grigoryev, I really appreciate all your help!
