Hi,
During a normal upgrade (F38 with KDE on a Dell G15 Laptop) I got this errors:
Skipping packages with conflicts: qt5-qtbase x86_64 5.15.11-3.fc38 updates 3.6 M Skipping packages with broken dependencies: kf5-akonadi-se x86_64 23.08.1-2.fc38 updates 2.5 M
I waited for more than a week to see if it was a problem with mirrors or something missing but they are still there. I don't know what those packages are for or if they are important (or if it is the same problem or the errors are unrelated) so I am a little worried about updating anyway. Any info on this problem?
There is probably a package installed that depends on the older version of these packages, and so preventing update. You can see what the conflict is by capturing the error output.
dnf update > out.txt 2> ror.txt
You can then open another terminal and look at out.txt, to determine if you want to update, and ror.txt for the errors. If you do want to update, just go back to the original terminal and type a y and hit enter.
If you don't want to do that, you can do
dnf -y update > out.txt 2> ror.txt
but automatically saying yes carries risks of things being removed. Maybe do this after you have run dnf already, and taken care of all update except the conflicts.
