upgrade packages problem

[GianPiero Puccioni]

Hi,

During a normal upgrade (F38 with KDE on a Dell G15 Laptop) I got this errors:

Skipping packages with conflicts:
  qt5-qtbase            x86_64    5.15.11-3.fc38        updates        3.6 M
Skipping packages with broken dependencies:
  kf5-akonadi-se        x86_64    23.08.1-2.fc38        updates        2.5 M

I waited for more than a week to see if it was a problem with mirrors or 
something missing but they are still there. I don't know what those packages are 
for or if they are important (or if it is the same problem or the errors are 
unrelated) so I am a little worried about updating anyway.
Any info on this problem?

There is probably a package installed that depends on the older version
of these packages, and so preventing update. You can see what the
conflict is by capturing the error output.

dnf update > out.txt 2> ror.txt

You can then open another terminal and look at out.txt, to determine if
you want to update, and ror.txt for the errors.  If you do want to
update, just go back to the original terminal and type a y and hit
enter.

If you don't want to do that, you can do

dnf -y update > out.txt 2> ror.txt

but automatically saying yes carries risks of things being removed.
Maybe do this after you have run dnf already, and taken care of all
update except the conflicts.

I didn't know that "err" didn't show on the terminal!

Apparently the problem was "qt5-qtwebengine-freeworld-5.15.12-4.fc38.x86_64"
I removed that and everything is back to normal, should I file a bug in RPMFusion?

Thanks,

Probably to avoid huge amounts of messages.

I'm not sure.  The rpmfusion package just needs a recompile to pick up
the new library.  So it isn't really a bug.  But it is a sure way to
flag the issue to the package maintainer, so maybe it is better than to
just send a message to their mailing list.

Yeah, file a bug, I convinced myself.
