for the sake of record, this bugs blocks (potentially) any upgrade to F33 when you have both (i686 and x86_64) versions of pkgconf-pkg-config installed

and removing pkgconf-pkg-config.i686 before F32=>F33 is not an option either :-(

Steps to Reproduce:
1. From F32, with both (i686 and x86_64) packages installed, try to run 'dnf system-upgrade download--releasever=33'
2.
3.

Actual results:
<<... download info skipped ...>>
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'.
Error: Transaction test error:
  file /usr/bin/pkg-config conflicts between attempted installs of pkgconf-pkg-config-1.7.3-2.fc33.x86_64 and pkgconf-pkg-config-1.7.3-2.fc33.i686

Expected results:
Transaction test to succeed.

Using the last updated (pkgconf-1.7.3-4.fc33) I managed to install both on my F33kde. Working fine.

First I downloaded and upgraded the pkgconf-1.7.3-4.fc33.x86_64 and next I downloaded and instaled with dnf the pkgconf-1.7.3-4.fc33.i686

[geraldo@tangamandapio ~]$ rpm -qa| grep pkgconf
pkgconf-m4-1.7.3-4.fc33.noarch
libpkgconf-1.7.3-4.fc33.x86_64
pkgconf-1.7.3-4.fc33.x86_64
pkgconf-pkg-config-1.7.3-4.fc33.x86_64
libpkgconf-1.7.3-4.fc33.i686
pkgconf-1.7.3-4.fc33.i686
pkgconf-pkg-config-1.7.3-4.fc33.i686

 
Only this side effect: it downgrade this packages during installation of the pkgconf-1.7.3-4.fc33.i686:
 cpp             x86_64        10.2.1-3.fc33  
 gcc             x86_64        10.2.1-3.fc33  
 gcc-gdb-plugin  x86_64        10.2.1-3.fc33
 libgcc          x86_64        10.2.1-3.fc33    
 libgomp         x86_64        10.2.1-3.fc33

(Sorry for the noob question)

This bug is solved, but some packages (like libpng-devel.i686) still depend on pkgconf-pkg-config.i686, which tries to downgrade pkgconf again. What is the best way to solve that? Or does the pkgconf.i686 need a similar fix?

Why is this issue closed?

Error: Transaction test error:
  file /usr/bin/pkg-config conflicts between attempted installs of pkgconf-pkg-config-1.7.3-2.fc33.i686 and pkgconf-pkg-config-1.7.3-2.fc33.x86_64

I'm now trying to upgrade from F32 to F33.

I've even enabled `updates-testing` with zero success.

I'm sticking to F32 for a while because I cannot find a way to upgrade seamlessly - it just doesn't work. If I exclude 'pkgconf*' from distrosync I get other errors.

I removed my pkgconf-pkg-config-1.6.3-3.fc32.i686 package and solved this problem during the upgrade from fedora 32 to fedora 33.

(In reply to Daniel from comment #13)

You did not solve the problem - you removed it. :-) I still need this package for multiple other packages which depend on it.

dnf remove pkgconf-pkg-config.i686

And both libpng-devel-1.6.37-5.fc33.i686 and libtiff-devel-4.1.0-4.fc33.i686 require pkgconfig(x86-32) which is provided by pkgconf-pkg-config.i686

Actually, I also removed libpng-devel-1.6.37-5.fc33.i686 package.
I didn't know if that package is necessary and I think I can install that package again if I need it after upgrade to Fedora 33.

Tomorrow I will file a new bug report if none of the usual suspects take action or at least confirm this is still a glaring issue which should have been fixed even before F33 got released.
