Unable To Upgrade to F36 - Should I wait?

When I want to download Fedora 36 this message is visible when I try to download it on my Software center:

Unable to Upgrade to Fedora 36: Package nsight-compute-2020.3.1.4-1.x86_64 cannot be verified and repo cuda-fedora33-x86_64 is GPG enabled: /var/cache/PackageKit/36/metadata/cuda-fedora33-86_64/packages&nsight-compute-2020.3.1-2020.3.1.4-1.x86_64.rpm could not be verified

Will this happen at a later point and I can wait until everything is verified and can be downloaded or should I do something? Would like to try Fedora 36 but I don’t want to break something so I can be patient.

Since you have an out-of-tree repo and package that is blocking it, the fix is to remove that package and disable that repo before you do the upgrade. The package for fedora 33 is quite old at this point as well and should be updated after the upgrade of fedora.

Alright so it’s nothing I have to keep for the next Fedora version. How do I remove the packages? just using rm /var/cache/PackageKit/36/metadata/cuda-fedora33-86_64/packages&nsight-compute-2020.3.1-2020.3.1.4-1.x86_64.rpm ?

No, that command would only delete the downloaded file (if existing).

To remove a package use dnf remove <package>

sudo dnf remove nsight-compute-2020.3.1-2020.3.1.4-1

Disabling the repo should be possible in Gnome Software.
If not you have to have a look in /etc/yum.repos.d/cuda-fedora33-x86_64.repo and set ENABLED=0 (or simply rm the file - be careful not to rm the wrong file).

thank you! :slight_smile:

but now I got

sudo dnf remove nsight-compute-2020.3.1-2020.3.1.4-1
[sudo] password for abc: 
No match for argument: nsight-compute-2020.3.1-2020.3.1.4-1
No packages marked for removal.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!

Maybe that’s not the name of the package.

Try find it with rpm -qa | grep nsight

It is likely that the package name is nsight-compute-2020.3.1, see here.

Remove them all - if need those packages, just reinstall them after the system-upgrade to F36.
