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.
