I had a bug reported that F32 -> F33 upgrades don't work if you have nbdkit-tar-plugin installed. This is expected because that plugin was removed.
It's is (sort of) replaced by nbdkit-tar-filter. However it's not a completely straightforward replacement since you have to change the command line you are using. The functionality is equivalent, but you have to consume it in quite a different way. So on IRC we discussed a few different options: (1) Adding: %package tar-filter Obsoletes: %{name}-tar-plugin <= %{version}-%{release} Provides: %{name}-tar-plugin = %{version}-%{release} that will transparently replace nbdkit-tar-plugin => nbdkit-tar-filter on upgrade. Maybe that's fine, people will need to read the release notes however. (2) Or adding: %package tar-filter Obsoletes: %{name}-tar-plugin <= %{version}-%{release} which says that it obsoletes but doesn't provide a replacement. Note however I'm not sure if this will work, because they won't have nbdkit-tar-filter installed before the upgrade (it never existed in F32), so will the Obsoletes ever be "seen" by dnf? (3) Or adding: %package server Obsoletes: %{name}-tar-plugin <= %{version}-%{release} Since nbdkit-server is the "base package" that everyone doing this upgrade has installed, it seems like the Obsoletes will be "seen" by everyone, causing removal of nbdkit-tar-plugin, but not replacement. I'm not sure which of these is correct.
