Hi Fedora people ,


When trying to update from Fedora 27 to Fedora 28 , following the upgrade  
protocol wich functionates perfect , I get the message :

transaction check error :

/boot /efi/EFI/fedora from install of grub2-common-1:2.02-34.fc28.noarch  
conflicts with file from package fwupdate-efi-8-4.fc26.686 .

Try passing the --allowerasing switch on your command line. I used to do 
that myself.

That is, before someone shared with me the "cryptic" solution (basically 
mounting another physical HDD or SSD at the mount point /crypt and 
creating symlinks to all top-level directories of all user accounts) to 
doing clean installs that preserve user data but do not preserve 
outdated configuration data.

I already did the same and got the same faillure : So I decided to remove  
fwupdate-efi-8-4.fc26.i686 and fwupdate-libs-8-4.fc26.i686.

Now the problem is solved and Fedora28 fully installed. Runs fine !

Thanks for help, Ger van Dijck.
