[Antonio M]

during an upgrade of one of my systems I get:

Errore:
 Problema 1: package AdobeReader_ita-8.1.7-1.i486 requires /bin/basename,
but none of the providers can be installed
  - coreutils-8.29-7.fc28.i686 does not belong to a distupgrade repository
  - problem with installed package AdobeReader_ita-8.1.7-1.i486
 Problema 2: package coreutils-8.29-7.fc28.i686 requires coreutils-common =
8.29-7.fc28, but none of the providers can be installed
  - package jre1.8.0_111-1.8.0_111-fcs.i586 requires /bin/basename, but
none of the providers can be installed
  - coreutils-common-8.29-7.fc28.i686 does not belong to a distupgrade
repository
  - problem with installed package jre1.8.0_111-1.8.0_111-fcs.i586

It's a packaging bug, of sorts, to do with the location of the
basename binary.  Quickest workaround is to uninstall the two
packages, perform the upgrade, then re-install the two packages again.
Alternatively, you could switch to OpenJDK and an alternative PDF
reader of your choice, but that depends on your usage case.

tnx. Removed both packages and updating is proceeding

Before upgrading uninstall Adobe Reader.

Once you've upgraded to F29, then

First:
dnf install libidn1.34-1.34-1.fc29.i686

Then,
rpm -ivh --force AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i486linux_enu.rpm

But YMMV & fyi,
