Upgrading from F42 to F43 has caused an identity conflict

Firstly the output (it’s in portuguese, but Ig you can understand enough)
Problema 1: o pacote instalado fedora-release-identity-kde-desktop-43-27.noarch entra em conflito com fedora-release-identity fornecido por fedora-release-identity-kde-42-31.noarch de updates

“Problem 1: the installed package fedora-release-identity-kde-desktopp-43-27.noarch conflicts with fedora-release-identity provided by fedora-release-identity-kde-42-31.noarch from updates”

Now this is is bizarre, there are two packages that basically do the same thing, but have different name schemes, as well as represent different versions

fedora-release-identity-kde.noarch 42-30 updates
fedora-release-identity-kde-desktop.noarch 43-27

I just want to know if I can just delete “fedora-release-identity-kde.noarch 42-30 updates” to keep F43, or if someone else has a safer idea.

This is weird because the -kde-desktop package should obsolete the -kde one:

$ dnf repoquery --obsoletes fedora-release-identity-kde-desktop
Updating and loading repositories:
Repositories loaded.
fedora-release-identity-kde < 43-0.9

What do you see when you run that command? In your case, try:

dnf repoquery --obsoletes fedora-release-identity-kde-desktop --releasever=43

What command are you running to do the upgrade?

You might just have to do the after setup steps as described here in the Quick-Doc:

especially this here: using-distro-sync-to-resolve-dependency-issues

Thank you a lot, using the

solved it.

Incidentally, the upgrade was made through Discover, not terminal dnf.

I am answsering this after having read and tried the solution suggested by “ilikelinux”, so this answer might be pointless, though I wanted to give an answer.

Now the output is
Atualizando e carregando repositórios:
Repositórios carregados.
fedora-release-identity-kde < 43-0.9

What command are you running to do the upgrade?

I did not run a command to upgrade, I upgraded through discover, which is why I was afraid to do something without advice first.
