Conflicts trying to upgrade

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

How do I go about fixing this?  I got two FC27 servers I
am trying to upgrade doing the same thing (same errors):

# dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=28 --allowerasing 
--best

Many thanks,
-T

# dnf downgrade webkitgtk4 webkitgtk4-jsc webkitgtk4-plugin-process-gtk2

tldr; I'd try first downgrade to some regular version of this package
on F27, then upgrade to F28 ...

Verbose version:

It looks like you have the testing version for webkitgtk4/F27
installed. If I try to install webkitgtk4 on a freshly installed F27 I get this:

webkitgtk4.x86_64                 2.20.2-1.fc27                  updates-testing

So I'd first try to downgrade from that testing version of the package
down to some regular one, and only then try the upgrade to F28 ...

And all version numbers on F28 I that I find are 2.20.1-1, and not
2.20.2-1 ...

The problem is that the name is changed only in F28, so if you have the 
same or newer version in F27, the F28 one won't replace it.  They both 
contain the same files, so they conflict.

From webkit2gtk3-jsc-2.20.1-1.fc28.x86_64:
Provides webkitgtk4-jsc = 2.20.1-1.fc28
Obsoletes webkitgtk4-jsc < 2.20.1-1.fc28

Yes, I saw your earlier email.  This was just an explanation of what the 
problem was and why downgrading worked.  You downgraded to a much older 
version that matched the obsolete requirement and also webkit2gtk3 
provided a newer version of webkitgtk4.

64,000 dollar question:  why did DNF not just leave it alone?

Lesson learned: stay off the Testing repo, unless there is
something specific I need.

The webkit2gtk3-jsc was required by packages in F28.  The webkitgtk4-jsc 
had a newer version so was not obsoleted or upgraded by anything so 
would not be removed.  The file conflict was not detected until after 
all the resolving was finished and the file checks were running.

That depends on your tolerance for risk.  I usually keep testing enabled 
to get the latest packages when I update.  It's very rare that there is 
a problem in testing normally.  There can definitely be upgrade path 
issues if you use testing, but a situation like this only happens when 
you have a package rename with a difficult obsoleting situation.

I have to work in the Windows world too.  Fedora's testing repo
is far more reliable than anything Windows has to offer.  Long
story short: I AM USE TO IT!
