I use qemu-kvm virtual machines all the time.
Do I need these fc38 (not 39) packages still?
Please don't ask for every F38 package you find. If it's not something
you're using and removing it doesn't take away something you're using,
then remove it if it bothers you to have it installed.
I had a list of about 30 of them that I either removed or upgraded to
39. I only asked about three of them. Then rest I could find with wev
searches. etc..
# dnf reinstall libvirt-designer* --releasever=39
That command doesn't even make sense. If the package is F38, then
"reinstall" is clearly not going to work if you specify F39 as the
release. And if it worked, you would still have the same version
anyway. Use "upgrade" instead.
I used reinstall to force things to 39. Sometimes I had to
use downgrade to get them into 39 as the 38 package was
a higher revision.
For example:
cups-1:2.4.7-2.fc38.x86_64
cups-1:2.4.7-1.fc39.x86_64

If you want more info, you can check koji:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=14881
This package hasn't even been attempted to be built for F39 yet.
And from there, you can find out why.

"Package is no longer developed upstream and nothing uses it"
I don't think it's ever been a default package, so you must have
installed it yourself at some point.
I agree.
Me thinks it may have been left over from when I
had to use "up stream's" packages to get past a bug.

Hm. Me thinks I will remove them anyway and see who complains.
And I just removed the above and three (most important) of
my nine VM's are still working..
Progress so far:
$ rpm -qa | grep -v kernel | grep -i fc38
dejavu-sans-mono-fonts-2.37-20.fc38.noarch
dejavu-sans-fonts-2.37-20.fc38.noarch
bitstream-vera-sans-fonts-1.10-48.fc38.noarch
netcdf-4.9.0-5.fc38.x86_64
cabextract-1.9.1-5.fc38.x86_64
virglrenderer-0.10.4-2.20230104git88b9fe3b.fc38.x86_64
So I am pretty close to finished. I reported the fonts
to bugzilla.
Thank you!
