Strange message from dnf when trying to execute "dnf distro-sync".

[George R Goffe]

Hi,

This message looks wrong to me. Of course there could be something I don't understand.
:-)

Notice the text after "requires" below. Is there a syntax error in the
"requires" part of the pkg?

Regards,

George...

No, that's a normal thing. The kernel packages provide literally
'kernel-uname-r', with the version of that provide being the exact
string they give when 'uname -r' is run.

There's obviously some kind of problem here, but the name of that
provide is not the problem. More context might help...

Adam,

Thanks for your response.

I'm not sure what you mean about "More context might help.". Here's the
whole command line + what dnf responds with. Do you want other info? Would --debugsolve
help?

dnf upgrade kernel'*'
Fedora - Rawhide - Developmental packages for the next Fedora
release

Your command is "dnf upgrade kernel'*'"
I'd try changing it to "dnf upgrade 'kernel*'" instead as there
might be
something weird with it getting parsed.
