I try to update with

sudo dnf update -y

but the update has plenty errors between old 368er versions and the new x64 of the package. I think I can remove them by hand and everything is fine, but I am wondering why this happens. Does anyone has an idea?

Running transaction check
Transaction check succeeded.
Running transaction test
The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful transaction.
You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean packages'.

p.s. Is there a way to paste code into a spoiler? I am sorry but I am new here.

Edit: Sorry for leaving out the details.

Try dnf distro-sync.

This is a bug in the way the nss package is packaged in Fedora. Found on https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packag... : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.... and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug....

You could have pasted it here: http://fpaste.org/ (There is also fpaste for your command line, see man fpaste)

EDIT: To me, this looks like you have a multilib system: x86_64 with some i686 packages installed. Often, such packages share files, which isn't a problem as long as they are identical. Here, it seems like you got one architecture updated but not the other, and the shared lib files changed.

The easiest way out of this is, as you already mentioned, to remove the i686 packages.

rpm -qa |grep i686 or dnf list installed |grep i686 will list you all i686 packages installed on your system. You can also try to run dnf with the option --allowerasing, which allows erasing of installed packages to resolve dependencies. (Not sure if it will work in this case.)

If you want to get rid of all i686 packages, you can run something like dnf remove \*.i686 but be careful not remove anything you may still need.

after sudo dnf clean all and sudo dnf upgrade the same error appears. The output of dnf repolist looks ok for me, see.
