Something up with Fedora 33 KDE I haven’t read about?

(edit: formatting)

As a side note, I’m running on a Lenovo G710 with a Broadcom 43142 WIFI chipset, which is why I need to upgrade in order to get the proper driver.

It appears that 2 packages (kf5-kwayland and kf5-plasma) are not yet updated in the mirrors. Both are still at 5.75.0-1 in the fedora repo… Try again tomorrow and omit the download only step.

Thanks JV - I’ll try again tomorrow.

BTW --downloadonly was in the first pass to get the packages. The first line beginning the error readout was the actual options used.

[UPDATE] Mirrors updated. Looks good now.
