grub2-efi / grub2-tools problem

[Frank Elsner]

Hello,

known since release of Fedora 27:

Error: 
 Problem: package grub2-efi-1:2.02-0.40.fc26.i686 requires grub2-tools = 1:2.02-0.40.fc26, but none of the providers can be installed
  - grub2-tools-1:2.02-0.40.fc26.i686 does not belong to a distupgrade repository
  - problem with installed package grub2-efi-1:2.02-0.40.fc26.i686

Any chance to get this problem solved?

Upgrade otherwise not possible (at least here).

I had the same problem and put it on the Red Hat Network; But no one did  
give any help.

I solved the problem as follows : I did a relabel on the OS ( Fedora 26 )  
and added  in the command " dnf system-upgrade download  --refresh  
--releasever=27 " the option --allowerase.

In my case then the updrade to Fedora 27 runs fine.

Give it a try , saucces ,

What do you mean by "relabel"?

dnf system-upgrade download --allowerase --refresh --releasever=27
gives 
dnf system-upgrade: error: unrecognized arguments: --allowerase

Can't reproduce.

Sorry my mistake (a type failure ?) I answerd to Frank allowerase indeed  
it must be allowerasing.

I hope that all runs fine now.
