Dear list,
Just experienced a failed upgrade from Fedora 24 to Fedora 25 in a chroot environment on a android tablet. From what I understand these are coming from glibc not supporting specific android kernel. Not sure if there is something that can be done, but at least I am making a note about it.
Tablet is using Android 4.0.3 and uname -r gives "3.0.8+".
Best regards,
Samuel Rakitničan

You'll need, from memory, at least a 3.6.x kernel due to systemd cgroups requirements (and there could be other reasons too i don't remember). But that isn't a new req, it's been around since ~ F22.
Sorry but you're very much on your own for kernels this ancient, most android are on 3.18.x and they do 'work' to at least some level of work.

So in a chroot systemd is not running as there is no dbus running either.

Umm then seems like all of my devices uses ancient kernels. Smartphone uses 3.4.5.
I particularly don't need any advanced features, as long as it works I am happy. This particular "feature" breaks the system entirely because any program that relies on glibc fails.
So, it appears that minimum requirement for glibc 2.24 that Fedora 25 uses is kernel 3.2, that would explain why my tablet fails.

Yep, and given it was released over 5 years ago I don't see that as too arduous a requirement given some functionality already requires 3.6
