Since a week or so, I am no longer able to update my system (Fedora 29) because of colliding packages. The output is as follows (sorry, German text, but I think everyone should be able :

Datei /usr/share/doc/gdk-pixbuf2/NEWS aus der Installation von gdk-pixbuf2-2.38.1-1.fc29.i686 kollidiert mit der Datei aus dem Paket gdk-pixbuf2-2.38.0-6.fc29.x86_64
  Datei /usr/share/locale/be/LC_MESSAGES/gdk-pixbuf.mo aus der Installation von gdk-pixbuf2-2.38.1-1.fc29.i686 kollidiert mit der Datei aus dem Paket gdk-pixbuf2-2.38.0-6.fc29.x86_64
...

The problem seems to be to me that dnf tries to install the same package for 2 different architectures (x86_64 and i686). Any ideas how to fix this and why this happens?

Thanks in advance,

Wolfgang

For future reference, if you ever want to run a command and turn off localization (translation to your system language), just run it with LANG=C ahead of the command, in this case LANG=C sudo dnf update

Running dnf update gdk-pixbuf2.x86_64 gdk-pixbuf2.i686 should have updated to

gdk-pixbuf2-2.38.1-1.fc29.x86_64
gdk-pixbuf2-2.38.1-1.fc29.i686

If that does not install wouldout conflicts you found an error that should be reported via bugzilla. Of course, if you do not need the gdk-pixbuf2.i686 by all means remove it. But then again, I have to assume it was installed originally for a valid reason.

The real reason that dnf did not chose to upgrade to gdk-pixbuf2-2.38.1-1.fc29.x86_64 might have been given in some message that was not shown to us.

Have you think about remove the package (i686) and try after update? Something like:

sudo dnf remove gdk-pixbuf2-2.38.0-6.fc29.i686 
sudo dnf autoremove && sudo dnf clean all 
sudo dnf update --refresh

And after you can try install the package again if you need it? sudo dnf install gdk-pixbuf2-2.38.1-1.fc29.i686

In the other hand you also could try update via comando --allowerasing like : sudo dnf upgrade --allowerasing

Maybe someone with more experience can help you. It is what i could imagine out what i could try.

dnf autoremove is a very dangerous command. Unless you read and understand what it is doing, I would suggest not to use it.

Assuming your system is a x86_64 (64bits) system, you can simply remove the confliciting .i686 package and then run the update process.

sudo dnf remove gdk-pixbuf2-2.38.1-1.fc29.i686
