Hi,
Is anyone else getting this issue with the mesa update with broken dependencies?
This is caused by version mismatches between the “mesa” package from Fedora and the “mesa-freeworld” packages from RPMFusion. You might need to enable the rpmfusion-free-updates-testing repository to (mostly) avoid issues like this.
Wouldn’t it be considered unsafe to introduce a “testing” repository though?
I guess that is why you used the word “mostly” in there. It is either to use that repo or wait until official packages are released then to fix those issues.
In general, it’s not “unsafe” - almost all updates that go into “testing” just end up being released as-is. The rpmfusion-free-updates-testing repository contains a very small number of packages, so the potential for things breaking is even smaller.
The issue you reported is just caused by updates for “mesa” from Fedora and “mesa-freeworld” from RPMFusion not moving in lockstep between “updates-testing” and “updates” repositories at exactly the same time. This will resolve itself in a few days. I just offered you a workaround that works now.

Wrong, you need to enable fedora updates-testing to catch up with the early rpmfusion push.

Thanks for the correction (it’s just usually the other way round).
Thanks for the help guys. I’ll patiently wait. Just wanted to make sure there wasn’t an issue hiding somewhere that needed fixing.
