Hi Everyone,
I attempted a dnf-system-upgrade on an old server (F40) to match the new server (F41) I've been setting up for the migration. The dnf-system-upgrade on the old server went sideways after step 3: `dnf system-upgrade reboot`. On the old server, it appears the upgrade partially happened. The machine boots, and I can login seated at the chair; but networking is down and dnf is broken. I think most programs are supplied by F40, but I may be mistaken.
Trying to run dnf results in similar to [1]:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/dnf", line 61, in <module> from dnf.cli import main ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dnf'
I'm trying to repair dnf using rpm.[2] I *think* `rpm --reinstall python3-dnf*.rpm` may be able to repair dnf. But I'm not sure about dnf vs dnf5:
# from a working F41 machine $ dnf search '*dnf*' ... python3-libdnf.x86_64: Python 3 bindings for the libdnf library. python3-libdnf5.x86_64: Python 3 bindings for the libdnf library
So my question is, is the generic 'dnf' Ok, or should I try to install specific 'dnf5' for Fedora 41? Or maybe something else?
(I'm about ready to tar up the important data files on the old server, copy them to a USB stick, sneaker-net them over to the new server, and destroy that old server like in [3]).
Thanks in advance.
