Unable to upgrade from 41 to 43 on Raspberry Pi

Ask Fedora

Hello, today I’m trying to upgrade my Fedora Server on my Raspberry Pi from 41 to 43. But after I fully upgraded the system, sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=43 showed the following output:

Updating and loading repositories:

Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: shim-aa64

I’m not sure what actually happened here and pretty much have no idea what’s happening. Afaik dnf is trying to remove shim-aa64…?

It seems like my system isn’t removing packages after they are upgraded. Running sudo dnf4 remove --duplicates fixed the issue of shim-aa64 being removed.
