Something seems to be really broken.
Is that the entire output from dnf?
Yes.
What happens if you try adding "--skip-broken"?
Same result.
Have you installed any packages from outside Fedora's repos?
I don't know the answer: a student who knows quite a bit about Fedora used to use it. But it has never been a problem to upgrade this machine previously.
Is there an obvious way to remove/figure out packages that are causing the problems?
Many thanks, Ranjan
might want to try adding --allowerasing to the dnf upgrade option. I just upgraded some systems, and it seemed that fc31 had some newer versions of packages than the fc32, and they had to be downgraded for the update to go thru. You could run with the option, and see what it shows will be downgraded or removed. If it seems to still have issues, you can cancell the option.
