dnf upgrade to 29 fails with coreutils and jre1 package problems - users - Fedora mailing-lists

10 May 2019


      Hi,
I have a fedora28 desktop I'm trying to upgrade to fedora29 and having
a problem:
# dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=29
Before you continue ensure that your system is fully upgraded by
running "dnf --refresh upgrade". Do you want to continue [y/N]: y

Error:
 Problem: package jre1.8.0_25-1.8.0_25-fcs.x86_64 requires
/bin/basename, but none of the providers can be installed
  - coreutils-8.29-7.fc28.x86_64 does not belong to a distupgrade repository
  - problem with installed package jre1.8.0_25-1.8.0_25-fcs.x86_64
This machine has been successfully upgraded through many previous
releases and haven't had a problem. I've followed the steps here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNF_system_upgrade
This includes ensuring all fedora28 updates have been applied. I've
also tried rebuilding the rpm database using "rpm --rebuild" and it
still fails.
