Re: can't upgrade from fedora 31 to Fedora 32

[Robert G. (Doc) Savage]

Paolo,

This is a common problem. Upgrade scripts frequently stumble when
packages from external repositories are installed. These can usually be
individually uninstalled manually (dnf erase xxxx) before running the
upgrade script. Keep a list of the manually removed packages and try
re-installing them after the upgrade completes.

Hope this works for you.

Incidentally, you'll want to upgrade to F33 very soon since F32 will go
EOL shortly after F34 is released.
