Have been unable since Fedora 40 released to upgrade from Fedora 39 to 40. Last install was Fedora 28 and have upgraded each release through 39. Have “dnf upgrade” responses if needed.
You have apparently been upgrading continuously for over 5 years.
At this point it would seem advantageous to do a new clean install since there are major changes in everything that have occurred in that period.
If you wish to upgrade instead of a new install, of course we need the information from dnf upgrade --refresh as a first step to see what may be happening. Follow that with the information from dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=40
For an upgrade to succeed any errors seen with either of those commands must be resolved before continuing.
Dear Jeff.
Yes, originally installed Fedora 28 on 26th May 2018. Upgraded since then to 39.
Here is a report of my latest attempt at upgrade:
Please show us the output from sudo dnf upgrade --refresh which, as I noted above must complete without errors before doing anything else.
As sent in my previous note ( Sun, 03 Nov 2024 09:50:28 -0500) there were no errors reported from “# dnf upgrade --refresh”. The first error is for “# dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=40” i.e. “downloading metadata for repository ‘skype-stable’:”
see below a copy of the output with list of “No match” omitted:
There have been 2 posts where you said there was output but nothing was included.
You should be able to copy the text from your screen and paste it here then highlight it and click the </> button to keep the on-screen formatting
Without the actual output we cannot see the results.
The ‘skype-stable’ repo is not a distro upgrade repo so would need to be explicitly disabled while running the system upgrade.
The command would look something like sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=40 --disablerepo=skype-stable so that repo is not searched for upgrade data.
