24 -> 25 requirements

[Frank Elsner]

Hallo,

fully updated F24 system.

dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=25
gives

package rpm-python-4.13.0-1.fc24.i686 requires rpm = 4.13.0-1.fc24, but none of the providers can be install.
package rpm-python3-4.13.0-1.fc24.i686 requires rpm = 4.13.0-1.fc24, but none of the providers can be instald
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages)

But 
$ rpm -q rpm
rpm-4.13.0-1.fc24.i686

If I read correctly the requirement is fulfilled.
Is it save to use '--allowerasing'?

It worked for me.

It worked for me also.

Unfortunately, an update to RPM got pushed out to F24 and hasn't hit
F25 yet, resulting in this temporary bug. (Ironically, would have been
fine on a *not* fully-updated system.)

Mostly safe. This may remove a few things you'll want to put back
later, but your system should work.

Update: Adam from QA tells me that Release Engineering just pushed out
the F25 update, so... in a few hours as mirrors catch up, this problem
will go away.
