Failed:

Error: Transaction failed

Expected results:
upgrade to texlive-merriweather-9:svn56365-32.fc32.noarch

Additional info:
It might be specific to a bad copy on some repo. I normally use a local mirror rsynced from rsync.mirrorservice.org, but with dnf so improved from yum, I can't see which mirror it's connecting to when I exclude the local mirror copies. But both give the same result.

Comment 1 J. Randall Owens 2020-11-22 18:53:31 UTC
Ah, I found the download source in dnf.librepe.log, finally. I've downloaded it from http://mirror.siena.edu/fedora/linux/updates/32/Everything/x86_64/Packages/t/texlive-merriweather-svn56365-32.fc32.noarch.rpm & https://ewr.edge.kernel.org/fedora-buffet/fedora/linux/updates/32/Everything/x86_64/Packages/t/texlive-merriweather-svn56365-32.fc32.noarch.rpm so far. Both failed, in addition to the mirrorservice.org copy.

Comment 2 Tom "spot" Callaway 2020-11-23 19:21:35 UTC
No, I don't think this is a bad download. With some of the OTF fonts in texlive, I make symlinks to /usr/share/fonts/ so that they can be exposed to the rest of the system. I only do this for fonts which are not packaged in Fedora, but for merriweather, I missed that "sorkintype-merriweather-fonts" is in Fedora.

The reason you hit this error is because RPM does not like trying to put down a symlink where a directory is (or vice-versa), and that happens if you have sorkintype-merriweather-fonts installed.

I'm fixing this in -33.
