F28 update fails

[Antonio M]

When updating by dnf to F28, process fails saying that nss-pem has an
inferior architecture (I have both i686 and 64 packages). Any idea??

[Antonio M]

this is the full output

dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=28
Before you continue ensure that your system is fully upgraded by running
"dnf --refresh upgrade". Do you want to continue [y/N]: y

Read this Antonio: https://fedoramagazine.org/upgrading-fedora-27-fedora-28/

"If you have issues when upgrading because of packages without updates,
broken dependencies, or retired packages, add the *‐‐allowerasing* flag
when typing the above command. This will allow DNF to remove packages that
may be blocking your system upgrade."

This flag fixed that error for me.

check https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1553646

The simple work around is run "dnf install nss-pem-1.0.3-9.fc28
--releasever=28"

then you can perform the upgrade without any issues.
