*** Bug 1488433 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Ping? Can we fix this? It interferes with all upgrades to F27... Problem: conflicting requests - package abrt-java-connector-1.1.0-8.fc24.x86_64 requires librpm.so.7()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed - problem with installed package grub2-pc-1:2.02-10.fc27.x86_64 - package grub2-pc-1:2.02-10.fc27.x86_64 requires grub2-tools = 1:2.02-10.fc27, but none of the providers can be installed - package grub2-pc-1:2.02-14.fc27.x86_64 requires grub2-tools = 1:2.02-14.fc27, but none of the providers can be installed - package grub2-tools-1:2.02-10.fc27.x86_64 requires librpm.so.8()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed - package grub2-tools-1:2.02-14.fc27.x86_64 requires librpm.so.8()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install both rpm-libs-4.13.0.1-4.fc26.x86_64 and rpm-libs-4.14.0-0.rc1.2.fc28.x86_64 (try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstalable packages) Also note that there is F27 already branched from Rawhide, so it would be nice to provide F27 as well as Rawhide builds ... *** Bug 1490287 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Created attachment 1324525 [details]
dnf system upgrade output
Here's a full log of attempted dnf system upgrade transaction with --allowerasing (needed, otherwise rejected). grub2 is removed, but grub2-pc is not installed.
Discussed during blocker review [1]: AcceptedBlocker (Beta) - even if you can upgrade with --allowerasing, grub2-pc will not be installed after upgrade, violating the "The upgraded system must include all packages that would be present on the system after a default installation from install media" clause of the upgrade criterion [1] https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2017-09-11/ Note: there actually is still a problem if you use --allowerasing , because nothing ensures grub2-pc (or grub2-ppc64 or whatever, the replacement package) gets installed in this case. The upgrade completes, and grub2 goes away, but nothing replaces it. grub2-2.02-16.fc27 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 27. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-a8b4e05ef3 grub2-2.02-16.fc27 has been pushed to the Fedora 27 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for instructions on how to install test updates. You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-a8b4e05ef3 Tested, grub2-2.02-16.fc27 fixes the issue. grub2-2.02-16.fc27 has been pushed to the Fedora 27 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
grub.macros has this: %define define_legacy_variant() \ %{expand:%%package %%{1}} \ Summary: Bootloader with support for Linux, Multiboot, and more \ Group: System Environment/Base \ Provides: %{name} = %{evr} \ Obsoletes: %{name} < 1:2.02-0 \ I'm pretty sure that -0 is a typo, probably for -10. The result of this is that grub2 packages get skipped from a 'dnf update' if you have grub2-2.02-1 or higher (because it isn't obsoleted, but its dependencies can't be satisfied if the other grub2 packages are updated). If you pass '--best --allowerasing' dnf will decide to go ahead and remove grub2 (that's what --allowerasing does, allows dnf to decide to remove packages whose dependencies can't be satisfied any more), so it's not critical, but it's still wrong.
