The log at /var/log/dnf.log has a "CRITICAL ERROR" message--something about having conflicting commands and not being able to install the "best" version. They suggest passing the --skip-broken switch.
First, post the exact "errors".
Questions:
1. How do I remove the present downloads so I can start over?
dnf system-upgrade clean
- Should I pass the --best flag, when running dnf system-upgrade
download, or skip that?
3. Should I pass --allowerasing?
4. Should I pass --skip-broken?
And especially should I pass --allowerasing and --skip-broken both at once?
The last 3 questions are irrelevant until the error is understood.
I believe the relevant passage in dnf.log is as follows:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/dnf/cli/main.py", line 122, in cli_run ret = resolving(cli, base) File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/dnf/cli/main.py", line 158, in resolving base.resolve(cli.demands.allow_erasing) File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/dnf/base.py", line 766, in resolve raise exc dnf.exceptions.DepsolveError: Problem: cannot install the best candidate for the job - conflicting requests 2019-11-08T23:36:58Z CRITICAL Error: Problem: cannot install the best candidate for the job - conflicting requests 2019-11-08T23:36:58Z INFO (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages) 2019-11-08T23:36:58Z DDEBUG Cleaning up.
Before that, I see the following somewhat unusual entries:
2019-11-08T23:36:41Z DDEBUG Base command: system-upgrade 2019-11-08T23:36:41Z DDEBUG Extra commands: ['system-upgrade', 'upgrade'] 2019-11-08T23:36:41Z DEBUG Unknown configuration value: failovermethod=priority in /etc/yum.repos.d/bunkus-org.repo; Configuration: OptionBinding with id "failovermethod" does not exist 2019-11-08T23:36:41Z DEBUG Unknown configuration value: failovermethod=priority in /etc/yum.repos.d/bunkus-org.repo; Configuration: OptionBinding with id "failovermethod" does not exist 2019-11-08T23:36:41Z DEBUG Unknown configuration value: failovermethod=priority in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-modular.repo; Configuration: OptionBinding with id "failovermethod" does not exist 2019-11-08T23:36:41Z DEBUG Unknown configuration value: failovermethod=priority in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-modular.repo; Configuration: OptionBinding with id "failovermethod" does not exist 2019-11-08T23:36:41Z DEBUG Unknown configuration value: failovermethod=priority in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-modular.repo; Configuration: OptionBinding with id "failovermethod" does not exist
The repostory "bunkus-org.repo" has one package in it, called mkvtoolnix, that I updated just before running dnf system-upgrade download.
I have not seen fedora-updates-modular.repo before.
Every other repository seems to have good information.
