The first three can be solved by erasing gtatool-gdal, gtatool-matlab
and rdma-core-34.0-1.fc33.i686. The first two are relatively painless,
but rdma-core forces the removal of the entire Wine installation--I did
it and plan/hope to reinstall Wine after the upgrade.
It's worth trying the upgrade with --allowerasing instead of rolling
your own erasures. It may be able to come up with a strategy that
involves removing less stuff.
In my defense I am a little apprehensive about --allowerasing because I
have a hole in my pants from being bitten by it years ago and having to
rescue-install hundreds of packages including RPM :). Of course I know
that I don't have to worry about it any more because of protected
packages---in fact one of my 'rolled-own' erasure pulled systemd and
triggered the protected package fuse, so I know it works!
However, in this case, --best --allowerasing trips up the following
errors, while plain upgrade just skips packages with conflicts (
iptables-libs ) and broken dependencies (gst and gwe ).
Problem 1: problem with installed package gst-0.7.4-2.fc33.noarch
- cannot install the best update candidate for package
gst-0.7.4-2.fc33.noarch
- gst-0.7.4-2.fc33.noarch does not belong to a distupgrade repository
- nothing provides python3-pyxdg >= 0.27 needed by
gst-0.7.5-2.fc34.noarch
Problem 2: problem with installed package gwe-0.15.2-1.fc33.noarch
- cannot install the best update candidate for package
gwe-0.15.2-1.fc33.noarch
- gwe-0.15.2-1.fc33.noarch does not belong to a distupgrade repository
- nothing provides python3-pyxdg >= 0.27 needed by
gwe-0.15.3-1.fc34.noarch
Problem 3: cannot install the best update candidate for package
iptables-1.8.5-6.fc33.x86_64
- problem with installed package iptables-1.8.5-6.fc33.x86_64
- package iptables-1.8.7-3.fc34.x86_64 requires iptables-libs(x86-64)
= 1.8.7-3.fc34, but none of the providers can be installed
- cannot install the best update candidate for package
iptables-libs-1.8.5-6.fc33.x86_64
- cannot install both iptables-libs-1.8.7-3.fc34.x86_64 and
iptables-libs-1.8.7-6.fc34.x86_64
- iptables-1.8.5-6.fc33.x86_64 does not belong to a distupgrade
repository
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)
Indeed adding --best --allowerasing --skip-broken skips those three
packages again, i.e. behaves like a plain system-upgrade with no options.
In general, if the problem is basically "package X wasn't rebuilt for a
library soname bump", the appropriate step is to file a bug against
package X. For the gtatool stuff, though, it looks to me like it got
orphaned and retired, but has not been specifically obsoleted; we may
need to put it in fedora-obsolete-packages. There were several attempts
to rebuild it between July and November, but they all apparently failed
(well, the last seems to have succeeded but was never tagged and has
been garbage-collected), and now it's been orphaned.
So if they did succeed, wouldn't it make sense to include them? I am a
reasonably heavy Octave user, and although I actually didn't have to
load Matlab files recently, I think it is a useful feature. Maybe Orion
has an opinion about this?
