I had tried rebuilding the rpm database but that didn't help.  clean all
did the trick.

Thanks for the suggestions.

No, I didn't.  Hmmm, it seems to have done the job.  Thank-you.

I just ran an update on fc28.x86_64 and there were no problems.  Well,
other than package conflicts like snmp and clamav that are keeping them
from updating, and have been for a while.  When I tried looking at snmp
there were a lot of conflicts, and it wasn't easy for me to find the
lynch pin to unravel the problem.

I suspect you hit some sort of corner case in loading updates.  As
Jeandet Alexis says, you could try cleaning everything, or even just
metadata, and then repeating your update.

Hi Kevin,

did you try a 'dnf clean all'?

Then you didn't do any 'sudo pip intall ' on your machine or set the
PYTHONPATH? You can easily break your system whide packages by dooing
this.

dnf is "broken"

2018-12-30 Thread Kevin Cummings
I last updated my laptop on 12/26.  It is running fc28.x86_64
