Hi All,

How do I go about fixing this? I got two FC27 servers I am trying to upgrade doing the same thing (same errors):

# dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=28 --allowerasing --best

Many thanks, -T

did you do sudo dnf upgrade --refresh first to make sure your software was all up to date? if so, then you may need to uninstall the software shown that conflicts, and wait for them to release new versions.

Your version of webkigtgk4 is too new, that is, newer than the replacement from fc28, Therefore dnf will not do the "right thing", and keep webkigtgk4. You need to downgrade the webkit4 packages so dnf can see the webkit2gtk3 packages as newer replacements for the webkigtgk4 packages.

dnf downgrade webkitgtk4 webkitgtk4-jsc webkitgtk4-plugin-process-gtk2

Update:

fc28 just got new versions of webkit2gtk3 so the issue may have been fixed, and no action needed.

In general, when one meets such messages before upgrade the best practice is to take note of conflicting packages, erase them, upgrade and reinstall those packages afterwards.

that would remove 85 packages!

That's precisely the reason why you have to take note. Once you have a file with packages names, you can reinstall the whole list in no time with e.g. dnf install $(cat list.txt)
